Why 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 11y 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?
