Yes :) What should I be looking for?

As noted -- I see what appears to be natural regrowth. That expectation (lots of trees with little fences) comes from what I've seen in other places, where I have seen huge areas of clearfelled land with systematic gridded replanting. You are right I am not a forestry expert. I'm only writing what I observe as best as I can.

It would be good to have forestry experience before writing articles.

I guess one day of planting a forest is already a lot of help. Planting apple tree in garden is not forestry.

I wouldn't write an article about how doctors treat cancer wrong if my only experience is my dead grandmother.

You had a chance to educate a genuinely curious fellow human. And you blew it by being overly negative.

He has no forestry experience and many of the things he considers bad are actually additional costs to the landowner to make the forest grow back faster.

I kinda feel like writing about how someone does nothing when they actually do things, you just did not bothered to actually investigate how what you write about works is being overly negative in the first place.
