    Just make sure you plant native trees! The last thing we need is invasive species.

      We’ve only got shitty monospecies forests where I live, due to commercial usage. I’m thinking, we could add an invasive species, as a treat. 🙃

        Recommend reading “the secret life of trees” to learn about how important the diversity of forests is. The trees evolved to compete with each other, and as a result somewhat rely on the behaviors of old growth forests.

        Really interesting book. Nonfiction.

      The arboretum near my house sells native plants for pretty cheap, I just bought a couple (although not the best time to be planting, but I put these in shaded areas and they’re doing ok so far)
