I cynically searched as I was sure the trees would all have been cut down.
They weren’t. There were wrongful arrest payouts, more trees planted and everyone started working together to plant more trees. Is this really correct?

- nonrandomstring 3y agoI think about doing this. Just guerilla tree planting. Harvest saplings from where they're obviously not going to thrive, grab a foldable entrencher and just hit spots that need a bit of reforestation. However I suspect most of them wouldn't take and that there's a bit more to successful tree planting than I suppose.
- graemep 3y agoI would have to ask my friends there to be sure, but AFAIK the campaign was successful, despite the plans being entrenched by long term contracts. It is a pretty good example of why long term complex outsourcing is a bad idea.
