If we can plant trees that might one day be as mighty as those in the article's photos, I say yes.

That's the plan - just need regulatory approval.

I signed up and left a lengthy heartfelt comment. Any other plants on the back burner you can talk about?

My dad told me stories of how before the chestnut epidemic there were Chestnut trees everywhere from maine to Georgia. A squirrel could travel practically the whole way simply on the branches of the American Chestnut tree.

It would be so cool to get to see even a partial return. Plus chestnuts are frigging tasty!

Can you imagine what the Indians must have seen? The forests, tall grass prairies with gorgeous flowers, buffalo from one horizon to another. We only see glimmers of it now. I am so thankful for the people working everyday to preserve the natural pockets and recapture fallowed lands for nature.
