This is interesting. When I built my house on 5 acres 20 years ago I planted over 500 trees. I used native trees..but lots of different varieties. Seeing this video makes me realize I accidentally did the right thing..cuz 20 years later my forest is awesome!

I'm a researcher in ecological modelling and I think it's so great that you're not only educating people but also doing it very very interstingly and scienticly correct.
I had the exact same thoughts on the team trees project but came to the same conclusion: Any (temporary) carbon sequestration effort is important! (Though maximizing effectiveness isn't certainly bad either :D)

As a Forester, and leading a sum of reforestation project, I can verify that these information are correct. Thank you very much for a proper video about reforestation.

The conclusion I have made is that the more terrifying the forest, the healthier

*Reconnecting the forest patches* is even more simple.
1m or 2m diameter pipe tunnel under the roads can connect the forest patches without making expensive bridges. Animals use such tunnel bridges, if there is a fence blocking the crossing of the road.

I’m glad you made it late, I feel like everyone just forgot about the whole tree thing

I live in the Arizona desert (Cave Creek) and planted 35 medium to large native trees after I built my house. I protected from the construction activities all native plants and relocated those I could as necessary. That was 8 years ago and I have an abundant amount of native birds including owls and ground dwelling animals of all desert species. Honoring the spirit of the native lands is never taught in schools. It’s no surprise that we are raising a national of non caring and non respectful young people. Caring is part of the quality of life yet eliminated by societal walks of life. Start caring today or be forced to live a life soiled by others.

Meanwhile Finland plants 150 million trees each year alone.
Not saying TT is useless, I donated 25 trees to them 💜

Excellent! As a forester in my masters, this is exceptionally accurate, smart and well explained!

Team Trees, a name I haven't heard said by a Youtuber in a while...

If you reforest the bronx it might be called gen'tree'facation.

This model is intresting.
However in places like here in the EU, even in locales where 70% of the land is covered by forests, its ALL managed forests. That are cut for wood then replanted. Apex predators were driven exctinct - by eradication programs in the middle ages, and early modern age - and are now slowly creeping back, and in regards to roads, well unpassable roads, like highways, are mandated to have elevated bridges covered with plants (instead of blacktop) to allow animals to pass through.

Cities should incorporate these "corridors" into their park areas planning as well.

One thing people forget is healthy forests grow in stages. In british columbia say a landslide happens and takes out all the trees on the side pf a mountain. The first thing that grows is not trees but bushes. This gives cover and protection for the new trees to grow. The first trees to grow are not the giant cedars and hemlocks though. Its fast growing alders. Which live betwen 60 tp 80 years. Then during that time the slow growing cedars and hemlocks start to grow. Later after the 80 years. The alders start to die and fall giving nutrients to the future giants. Thats how a healthy bc forest starts. When you start with planting the slow growing trees.most will die. And ypu will have to replant many

I remember subbing to this channel a year or two ago when it had 12k subs. I’m glad it’s getting the attention it deserves

Last time I was this early the Sahara was still green

It’s nice to see you mentioned corridors. The Florida panther population has suffered greatly from lack of corridors so they can’t breed with more northern Alabama cats. On the other hand a local corridor has been approved recently by me to protect an entire river back from source to ocean.

When I made my house in downtown Chiangmai, I bought 3 plots of land, build my house in the middle and planted 300 trees all around with the result that now I have a green wall that gives shade, fresh air and is home to various birds, lizards, frogs, and is also visited by squirrels, bats, owls, bees etc
