Towering Timbers 

On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.

Why I think logging shouldn't logging be allowed

1. Logging is leaving less forest during winter for our animals to life in.

2. Its endangering our native animals like Kiwi's and its killing animals and ruining homes . That's why I don't thing it should not be allowed.
