No. It can not.
If you think that then you really are ignorant.
A maple first can not be turned into a pine forest no matter how much you have spent.
And a maple Forest can not be brought back no matter how much you spend
It's been tried.
It was tried for years, tens of millions were spent.
And it was never done.
It failed every time.
It takes hundreds of years to grow a forest.
And only weeks, or days to destroy.
So you would have a community pay hundreds of years worth of lost revenue?
Or would it just be an oppsie doodles?
Now, don't get me wrong. I too believe that municipalities should have better autonomy.
The ability to circumvent a state/provincial government to a point.
And extend itself to the Federal.
Okay, so I don't know enough about that specific scenario to respond to it directly. However, I am curious as to who was attempting to rebuild the forest?
It was done rich entrepreneur, he cut a maple Forest to try and rebuild it as a pine.
As soon as the pines started to grow, the maples would take priority, and when the pines died the maples for sun scorch.
My BF studied it in school because he is a forest technician.
"and when the pines died the maples for sun scorch" what does that mean?
They die. They get scorched.
Oh ok
Yeah, money can't fix everything.
That is not a good mind set to have..
Was it money really that failed? Or poor planning and decision making?
It was money.
They tried for years.
No amount direct ever changed the results.
well if they realised the maples would overtake the pine, maybe they couldve done something
Money alone isn't enough to fix a problem
I also thought it would be possible to change it.
But after reading and looking at forests I eventually realized.
humans are amaing at wiping out species on accident
so just accidentally wipe out the maples
and boom
pines
No.
money can build a park
not an ecosystem tho
"a park"
