When i was a kid my dad was a woodcutter and he solds their wood to a baker in the city, she loves the wood produces by my father because was produce by hight quality, for example hard wood as quebracho, memble, chichipate, huiliuishte and others with hight hard.
Miss Virginia the baker, talkeds with my and she tolds me, hey you should told your father for good wood, and the other man who come here and bring me a nice wood from roots, he usually has been identify in which place people cut a tree and she talk with the woodcutter and he asks to him, about if he let him remove the soil and extract the roots, to cut it and sell the roots extracted, for this reason we call this man the woodcutter of the roots.
We usually have been seeing, all sources in the forest but in some places as here, the sources are not consume by the people near to the places, here an example of this, a little of wood, in abandoned situation, this parts will not uses for human, but yes by animals, mushrooms and all kind of microorganisms which live in the forest.
When someone cut a tree, usually do not uses all parts of tree, the roots never are uses, generally it loses, some branch too specially the thins.
When we cut a tree think that some pieces of wood has loses in the process but remember the natural process in the nature, the material do not destroy, only changes their form.
Thanks for coming, English mistakes were made by myself.
