Around here it is actually consider a problem: Areas that has been cultivated for hundreds of years are now filling up with bushes and trees because small scale farming is declining quickly and the larger ones don't send livestock out to grass in these areas.

- reitanqild 12y agoLate but I'm in Norway, at least for now.
- praxulus 12y agoWhy is that a problem? If we don't need to use the land for farming or grazing, what's the harm in letting it fill up with bushes and trees?
- DanBC 12y agoYou lose an ecosysem and some of the plants and animals adapted to that ecosystem. I'd be interested to know if there's much difference between managed and unmanaged mini wilderness -- can you just leave a few fields to go wild and it'll turn out okay or do humans need to steer it for the first few years?
- iwwr 12y agoFrom what I've heard from farmers, fields left to the wild are hard to clear and it's more difficult to return to agriculture after a few years. As a matter of real-estate the value goes down.
