Question that might be outside your experience, but I own some land in the Rockies that was clear cut at some point in the last thirty years. If I did absolutely nothing with it, how long until it turned back into Forest?
- toast0 3y agoProbably depends on how big it is, and what's around it, and how much water and what not. If it's a relatively small area that was clear cut, the surrounding forest is likely to encroach pretty quickly. But unassisted, trees may grow too densely so you don't get a lot of thriving trees. Going in and picking many trees to keep and a handful to thin can help the ones you keep be healthy and grow well. Most likely there are universities near you that can offer forestry advice tailored to your area.
