What we need are more diversified forests and a process for selectively replacing trees should be developed.
Having said that, there is no excuse for clear cutting without a permit. We need regulations for this with consequences with teeth. Maybe if found guilty of clearcutting (not cutting a few trees) without permit, the property gets transferred to the city or province without any financial compensation.
