I’d be more interested in if they’re doing proper rewilding and reforesting, or if this is more of the same monoculture tree farm crap we’ve seen for 20 years.
Edit: Looks like that’s exactly what this article is about. They’re trying to do proper reforesting, but they’re finding they can only get a few species, mainly timber woods. Sounds about right.
Great point, if it's not native to the area it doesn't make much sense. Native species are built to handle the specific year round conditions. Nonnative species typically struggle at certain times of the year. Plus, they can take over entirely too. When sourcing indigenous seed, the most common issue is the amount. Ideally a couple years heads up could be given to help offset the problem.
