Trees almost everywhere will create more trees if left to themselves. One oak tree produces lots of acorns. The problem is mankind. We like to interfere. In a way many tree planting schemes are an indicator of this interference (hubris?). We just need to let nature do its thing in most places. There are of course some places that need help and people can help here (watering, stopping logging, species diversity, grazing animal protection etc) but generally nature will do it for us if we let it. Small scale planting schemes are great for community and education too.
