Clearcutting or clearfelling is a logging operation in which (nearly) all trees in a selected area are harvested. There is no agreed upon minimum area that constitutes a clear cut, but typically, areas smaller than 5 acres would be considered "patch cuts". The reasons for clearcutting can range from optimizing the regeneration of a forest (explained below) to to clearing land for other uses to taking every tree worth any money. Reasons for clearcutting rather than selection cut include:
