Was this your handiwork? If so, good job.

I would also like to see this. I have no problem with logging; I have a big problem with all of our foothills getting converted from forests into tree farms.

Reminds me of the old joke . A reporter asked Clyde Barrow, why do you rob banks ? Cause that's where the money is .

Normally what grows there naturally will continue to grow in the logged area. So if spruce is the dominant species it will continue to be , the same with pine or balsam. Notice how cut blocks grow up fairly thick , well that's from natural regeneration as well as the trees planted. Try cutting down an aspen block and replanting it with pine , it wont work.
