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"
kinda can...
money if it has enough worth, can do anything
By the way this wasnt just planting pines over the maples
forest technician sounds interesting
@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 that explains it
This guy stripped the land to the rock.
And replaced the soil.
You see plants repopulate...
And the maples still took priority
why were they replacing in the first place?
Because pines grow to maturity in a decade or two.
And then you can sell them
Maples take 40+
oh so it was for commercial purposes?
Yes.
For building materials.
Sounds like he wasn't just trying to build a forest
He was trying to build a forest to his specifications
He was trying to change a forest.
From hardwoods to soft woods.
building a forest is easy
controlling a natrual forest without wiping it out and starting from scratch is not
It's not too hard to make a hardwood forest.
