agree  Dave Calderhead: with clearance areas - g'day Jack (;-{)>
2 mins
  -> Ta. And g'day to you too, mate.

agree  Ken Cox: or 'clearcut' in NA usage; IMO 'clearance' is not quite right here (clearance refers to removing trees so the land can be used for other purposes, clear-cutting means systematically cutting everything). Clear-cutting is the opposite of selective logging.

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): with Ken: clearcut areas (or plots).
