Where are there large amounts of treeless land in MA? New England is heavily forested outside of urban areas and farmland.

We are going to have to cut down some trees to get anywhere close to our climate goals. Solar and wind are vastly more effective at displacing CO2 than trees are at capturing it. We have no choice if we want to do our part in averting the worst of climate change.
