In which cases is it not?
Other than short term carbon sink we get more trees, wild life gets more trees allowing it to flourish, we get wood for building material, dead trees become soil.
- goodcanadian 6y agoYou are missing the context; I think suggesting tree planting as a serious method to combat climate change is absolutely harebrained. That does not mean I am against tree planting in principle. I agree with you and I am strongly in favour of rewilding for other reasons. Of course, that still means planting the right trees in the right places. Random planting of random trees is not likely to help much and may be a net negative if it gives people the feeling that they are doing something good when they aren't really.
