Yeah that's basically it. Reforesting has very extensive ecological benefits, especially on hillsides; The soil is kept on the hill, water enters the ground instead of flooding downhill, rubble and boulders are stopped from crashing downhill, and of course it provides habitat for species that need tree cover to survive.
There's a charity called Trees for life doing such a project in the scottish Highlands. Their YouTube channel is very informative and interesting to get a basic grasp of the topic.
I definitely am, think

and a few others would be interested as wellI may open up a specific thread in the next few days if there's interest.I definitely am, think
First you’re going to need a piece of land to restore. Next research the previous flora and fauna that lived their. Plant identification books, and nearby state parks are good for this, but beware that state parks are often maintained in a way that changes the ecology, but at least you’ll figure out the native flora. Next aquire stock, and propagate a lot of it. AND DON’T JUST PLANT ONE TYPE OF TREE! Depending where you are chestnuts should be planted too. Next step is to burn the land, let it rain and when green appears, burn it again. It’s preferable to do this several times to get rid of all invasive plants that will inhibit the natives you will plant. Also the fire will add nutrients to the soil that are important, and will clear away thick areas. Then you plant, and every few years burn again
That makes sense and seems like a long term fix if successful. Allot of the "green" initiatives revolved around some form of taxation this seems like an actual real world fix
Here's an oldie, Carol Channing has passed away at age 97. I remember seeing her before.

I remember her from a lot of TV shows when I was a kid back in the 70's & 80's. I honestly didn't know she was still alive because I had not seen her in many years.
Same here...Saw it on tv this morning then found an article in my routine visits online.
