It’s annoying me that I know nothing of the story behind this. Perhaps it meets some every-other-tree rule in a way that is easily verifiable with one flyover, or even Google Maps.

Every other square mile is cleared for logging as some sort of forestry preservation/logging compromise. The spaces logged are clear cut.

Yeah, the mixed use doctrine is more or less a subsidy on logging to ensure cheap wood, but not letting the government sell the wood it grows.

Another replyer alluded to this but if every plant can spread its seeds X feet then by cutting like this you increase the total surface area the plants are able to spread to. Increasing the natural regrowth rate.
