Are Tree Planting Promises a Distraction From What We Really Need: Mature Tree Protections
The below TVO expert panel discussion about Canada’s “2 Billion Trees” promise provides a lot of insight on tree planting ambitions and realities.
The panelists are Ontario based, but the broad principles they discuss apply across the country.
The discussion takes a bit of a testy turn when the U of T Forestry Prof argued that we must first and foremost protect the trees that we have considering the uncertainties of replanting.
This makes a lot of sense.
The discussion is about (30) minutes long, but worth it. (Following the discussion on trees is a different programming segment on an unrelated topic).
