- soperj 7y agoSure, but there's nothing special about that land specifically. You could take any land, even within a city and do the same. It would return to nature pretty quickly.
- gambiting 7y agoReturn to the "natural" state might take much longer than you anticipate - my favourite example is that the lands that the Aztecs and the Mayans used for farming still haven't returned to the same state as the surrounding jungle, despite being left alone and undisturbed for literally several centuries.
- soperj 7y agoUhhh, i didn't say to a natural state. I said "to nature". The same way that the land protected to the example hasn't returned to a natural state. You can't get back to a natural state, it's been massively disturbed by humans.
