What does that have to do with prefering not to have to hike in tree farms?
If you think a tree farm is a forest just go find a cabbage patch to stomp
around in for a while.

This is the typical urban viewpoint. You see anything outside the city
limits as a park, to be maintained for your pleasure, and to hell with
any other users. You certainly have multiple wilderness areas, national
parks and recreation areas in the PNW if you want to hike around and
enjoy nature.

Deer hunters might prefer a nice patchwork quilt of clear cuts where deer
can browse and find shelter. Deer hunters and morel hunters are probably
the only people really delighted by the Biscuit fire. Getting rid of
those pesky trees opened up 200,000 acres of browse for deer, and the
morel crop for the next few years should be monumental. You, of course,
get to hike through the blackened moonscape followed by early succession
underbrush that delights you so well. No tree farms there.
