Regeneration

While out for a walk in the woods the other day it was hard not to miss the seedlings and saplings sprouting-up here and there.

Tiny oak trees and small spruces.  And these tamaracks.....

 

The larger trees were planted a couple of dozen years ago and already natural regeneration is occurring.

For sure there are thousands upon thousands of ash trees with a death sentence - fortunately other species will step-it-up to replace them.  

Sustainable forestry is only for those with patience.
