After Douglas fir forests are cut, the land owners have great incentives to replant. This nursery specializes in reforestation.
Rampart Range Road, Colorado Springs, CO - I was pleased to find large numbers of Clark's Nutcrackers hard at work ripping apart pine cones the other day. These high mountain birds plant the seeds of pine trees in their quest for food as they extract seeds from pine cones and bury them in various locations to serve as winter food stores. Those seeds that are never reclaimed for food, later turn into lovely pine forests, which the area now needs having suffered great loss from the Waldo Canyon Fire several years ago ...
Bark beetles have killed most of the local pine trees over the last years. In the small white boxes on the ground new trees are planted.
the storms wipe Iceland's surfaces mercilessly and it results difficult imagining that the islands once has lush forests like Norway for instance. Nowadays there are serious efforts going on to reforrest the island in some parts at least, especially where higher peaks do offer some protection against the storms that make it difficult for trees to survive the first years.
The Golden-winged Warbler benefited from the extensive deforestation of the last several centuries, especially as farms were abandoned in the 20th century. Current reforestation is reducing available breeding habitat.

Reforestation de peupliers. Préparation du sol et irrigation.
L’atmosphère sombre de ravage et de désordre m'a fait penser à un lieu de guerre. C'est hélas d'actualité et l'esprit ne peut s’empêcher de faire des rapprochements.
Reforestation of poplars. Land preparation and irrigation.
The dark atmosphere of havoc and disorder made me think of a place of war. This is unfortunately topical and the mind cannot help but make connections.

This is an area where the government is attempting a reforestation project in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Most of the higher elevations are covered with snow in the winter when there's also the most precipitation. Reforestation helps limit the runoff and the erosion, conserving both the water and the soil. Forested areas also attract more precipitation and capture large amounts of carbon.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Like me, you might drive by this abandoned place (on M-52, near Bennington Road) numerous times and never know it was there. The vegetation shields it almost completely from both the north and south lanes, so the only reason i noticed it at all is that i was not driving....just staring out the window at a 90 degree angle when it flashed by. It is only about 50 feet/ 15 meters from the edge of the road.
Reforestation by direct seeding & planting of seeding trees was started in 1911 & continues today and its been a slow but rewarding recover.
The deforestation of our planet is spreading and affects our global climate, the livelihood of the local populations, and the diversity of species. If each person reading these words would go to your own favorite Plant-a-Tree organization, donate a dollar, and planted a tree, then, if we are lucky, maybe we together would plant a smaller forest :) Let's conserve the lungs of our world and plant a tree today!

Landowners and communities need incentives to protect nature. That is why assisted natural regeneration is so important:
Es uno de los jardines más bonitos e impresionantes de Madeira.
Su historia se remonta al siglo XVIII con la "Quinta do Prazer". A finales del siglo XIX, el anterior propietario construyó una casa palaciega, rodeada de verdes jardines, que posteriormente se transformó en un hotel llamado "Monte Palace Hotel". En 1987 fue adquirido por el empresario José Manuel Rodrigues Berardo con el objetivo de preservar este espacio.
El Monte Palace Madeira - Jardín Tropical ocupa una superficie de 70 000 m2 y fue reforestado con plantas exóticas procedentes de varios continentes: cícadas, proteas, clivias y hortensias de Sudáfrica, azaleas de Bélgica, orquídeas del Himalaya, brezo de Escocia, secuoyas de América, acacias de Australia y olivos milenarios de Alqueva, Portugal, entre otros.
Parte del jardín ha sido reforestado con plantas características de la Laurissilva, que fue clasificada por la Unesco como Patrimonio Natural Mundial en 2000. Entre las plantas de este bosque endémico, podemos encontrar: el laurel (laurus novocanariensis); el laurel de Madeira (ocotea foetens); la caoba de Madeira (persea indica); el barbusano de Madeira (apollonias barbujana); la haya (myrica faya); el lirio de los valles (clethra arborea); el cedro de Madeira (juniperus cedrus); la moca de Madeira (pittosporum coriaceum), una especie en peligro de extinción, entre otras.
La exuberante vegetación rodea enormes lagunas repletas de carpas koi, que ofrecen a los visitantes un agradable espectáculo, debido a la transparencia del agua y al brillo y color de los peces, que pueden vivir hasta 100 años.
Las alamedas del jardín se han enriquecido con una colección de azulejos de los siglos XVI al XX, destacando los paneles dedicados a la "Historia de Portugal" y a la "Aventura de los portugueses en Japón". En el jardín también se pueden ver escudos, cantería, esculturas, nichos, pagodas, budas y faroles.
En la parte más alta del jardín se construyó el Museo Monte Palace Madeira, un espacio expositivo con tres galerías. En la planta baja se expone una colección de minerales y piedras preciosas procedentes de los cuatro rincones del mundo, y en la primera y segunda planta, una colección de escultura contemporánea de Zimbabue.
District de Manakara (Madagascar) – Il y a quelques années, cette parcelle de forêt était vierge de toute végétation. Elle démontre qu’avec de la méthode, beaucoup d’acharnement et de la patience, une véritable politique de reboisement est possible.
La reforestation a de nombreuses vertus, notamment un effet bénéfique sur les incendies dont le nombre a diminué dans ce secteur. Cet effet sur les feux s'explique en partie par l'humidité retenue par les « forêts ». C'est aussi la raison pour laquelle le programme de végétalisation a débuté il y a quelques années, à proximité des rizières afin de les protéger.
Les villageois sur la photo participent depuis quelques années au reboisement de leurs terres. Ils affirment n’avoir connu l’an dernier que deux feux de brousse, contre sept dans un village éloigné qui ne participe pas au programme de reboisement.
Les pratiques agricoles reprennent à proximité des parcelles forestières grâce à la reminéralisation des sols qui retrouvent une certaine fertilité.
Deux essences sont les reines de ces collines désolées. L’acacia et le palissandre. Leur rusticité les rend peu sujets aux maladies et permet leur développement dans des sols particulièrement pauvres. L’acacia, un arbre invasif, est adapté pour des zones à reboiser rapidement.
Le palissandre est également réintroduit dans de nombreuses parcelles. C’est avec cet arbre que l’ONG Inter Aide a convaincu les villageois de participer au programme. Ces derniers voient dans le palissandre un potentiel matériau de construction, car les structures des habitations traditionnelles sont faites en bois. Une opportunité de retrouver un matériau naturel et traditionnel pour les futures générations.
Eric, ingénieur agronome malgache, responsable du projet, estime ce n'est pas un problème si la population coupe quelques arbres. Elle doit cependant intégrer dans ses pratiques que ces coupes ne peuvent se faire que dans le cadre d'une gestion rigoureuse de ces forêts reconstituées. Mais Eric est confiant. Avec la disparition des forêts de Madagascar, les villageois ont bien compris que cette ressource n’est pas éternelle et nécessite toute leur attention.
Manakara District (Madagascar) – A few years ago, this patch of forest was devoid of any vegetation. It demonstrates that with method and a lot of determination, a real reforestation policy is possible.
Reforestation has a beneficial effect on fires, the frequency of which has decreased in this sector. This effect on fires is partly explained by the moisture retained by “forests”. This is also the reason why the program started a few years ago near the rice fields in order to protect them.
The villagers in the photo have been participating in the reforestation of their land for several years. They say they only experienced two bush fires last year, compared to seven in a remote village which does not participate in the reforestation program.
Agricultural practices are resuming near forest plots thanks to the remineralization of the soil which regains a certain fertility.
Two species are the queens of these desolate hills. Their hardiness allows their development in particularly poor soils. Acacia, an invasive tree, suitable for areas to be quickly reforested.
Palisander is also reintroduced in many plots. It was with this tree that the NGO Inter Aide convinced the villagers to participate in the program. The latter see palisander as a potential construction material, because the structures of traditional homes are made of wood. A way to have a natural and traditional material for future generations.
For Eric, a Malagasy agricultural engineer responsible for the project, it is not a problem if the population cuts down a few trees, if they understand that these cuts can only be done within the framework of rigorous management of these reconstituted forests.

Guadua bamboo plants transplanted on Sep 2019. Photo Status from May 2021.
Checking on the growth of the Guadua angustifolia (bamboo) which has been transplanted 2 years ago near the peach palms. This is tropical permaculture design in action on a steep hill. Multiple functions. 1. Natural fence with the neighbors 2. Erosion control on stew hill 3. Attracts fauna 4. Future regenerative building material.
I don't know why, but Windows 10 has been difficult when it comes to my Opensim Home Grid. It's been difficult in other areas, too, but my Home Grid is much more important, since it's essentially the internal 'garden' I like to work on and can share externally through pics like this on Flickr.
However, now that I've got it working by splicing an older Opensim 0.7.5 version with the newer Opensim 0.8.2.1 (which you can download for yourself here), I at least was able to get a few bugs out, though now I have to scale the mountain down again, as well as update the inventory with my current mesh options. >.<
Oh well, it's nice to have the garden back. To spruce things up, I added some mesh trees next to the pyramid. You can still see home tree in the background, which will always be the largest tree in this garden. =~.^=
I'm using the most recent version of the Singularity viewer*. This pic was taken in 4K (4096 x 2048) by adjusting the resolution on Singularity's internal snapshot settings. So yep, 4K is possible to take in Opensim, even with a viewer that operates on the old SL 1.23 viewer's code. Albeit, the Zen viewer had the best photo options for an Opensim viewer. Too bad it is no longer in development. :(
***
* As of 2/27/2016, a minor update was released for AMD graphics Catalyst Driver releases newer than version 14.9. It's a minor update, but still good, none the less, to see that the Singularity team is still active and keeping the viewer alive and working properly.
Melia Aladarach, also known as Cinamomo, is a deciduous tree highly valued by her rapid growth and multiple uses. This tree can grow up to 45 meters high in wet forests, but is usually smaller in drier regions, where it is more common to grow around 10-15 meters.
It is very adaptable and can grow in various conditions, from hot temperate climates with low frost to moist tropics. It can tolerate an average maximum temperature of 39 ° C in the hottest month and temperatures that fall shortly below zero during the cold season.
It originates from Asia and Australia, but it is possible to find it as sub-spontaneous in forests in the Americas, Africa and Europe.
Melia Aladarach is an important resource for many communities, providing a range of medicinal uses, insecticide and repellent properties, and useful wood. In its native areas, it is often cultivated for reforestation, as it is a kind of fast but short -term growth.
It can flourish from seeds from 5 to 6 years old, these trees grow rapidly but have a short life and usually die at the age of 20.
The flowers appear in curls, in Spring and Summer, and are small, lilac color, quite fragrant and attractive. The fruits are green to yellow, which become whitish and withered with maturity. They are consumed by birds, but very toxic to mammals.
The seeds have a strong musk aroma, and the wood also smells like musk.
The tree is also appreciated and planted as a street tree and ornamental, although it is known to spill a considerable amount of leaf waste.

En este caso comparto una toma que quiere mostrar el paso del tiempo.
Espero haberlo conseguido y que os muestre como se encuentra ahora este bosque.
In this case I share a picture that wants to show the passage of time.
I hope I have achieved it and that I show you how this forest is now.
Myra Canyon Forest Fire in 2003 left much of the forest charred and 12 trestle bridges completely destroyed. This is what the reforestation program achieved in just 12 years.
