So, to me, one does not have to choose one or the other. The newly- harvested portions could either be replanted with timber, or perhaps better, replanted with species for a permaculture yield (which could include some timber). This way, at least for an initial period of years, timber sales could finance the start-up of permaculture enterprises.
