Reforestation

Reforestation is the act of planting trees in environments where the forests have been depleted, typically by deforestation. Deforestation is the act of cutting down and permanently removing forests, typically to make room for development. There are many negative effects of deforestation, mainly on the climate. To combat this, we have to practice reforestation to reverse the effects of deforestation. When these trees are planted during reforestation we provide shelter for wildlife, stop erosion, reduce the impact of carbon emissions, and more. Personally, I have had little experience with planting trees; however, I recently planted two small trees as an experiment to see if they would grow. Currently, they are still very small and look like a stick with leaves, but they are growing quickly. This could be a good start for me, and maybe in the future, I will plant more trees to help fight climate change in my community.
