Forests and natural resources. Resources do include minerals and wildlife. And standing trees. Preserving forests close to streams and rivers help keep a healthy fish population. We do not have commercial fishing in our rivers, that I know about, but we do have people who come to fish particular streams. Keeping that stream healthy is a resource. Who benefits? The travel industry.

My family owned three different properties that were logged regularly. When ever we logged, the forester would mark what to cut this year, what to leave, and what would probably get cut next time, in 3 or 4 years. And by rotating what property got cut this year, we had a harvest almost every year. Or, to be more accurate, when we needed cash we would harvest some trees. Over 35 years, the trees became both taller and thicker. So we cut the same number of trees and produced more board feet and better logs for the mills. That led to more profit, and steady income.
