Land Use
Beyond carbon sequestration, what other benefits do forests offer you personally?
Forests are beautiful in so many ways. They represent complete and unique ecosystems that operate as their own, fully sustainable loops from growth to death and decay, and back to growth again. They are home to species of all shapes and sizes and they offer limitless , opportunities to learn about nature and chances to explore their peaceful and meditative environments. A nice stroll or hike through the woods is a magical thing - and one most definitely worth preserving for future generations.
