Afforestation Is Planting
Afforestation Is Planting
recently, or which has never been a forest. Reforestation is the reestablishment of a forest after
removal, for example from a timber harvest. Many countries have experienced centuries of
deforestation, and some governments and non-governmental organisations directly engage in
programs of afforestation to restore forests and assist in preservation of biodiversity. (In the UK
afforestation may mean legally converting land into a royal forest.)
