  1. Agree Agree Agree. As California and other states have discovered protecting forest is not a passive endeavor. Proper forest management to reduce forest fires and disease is essential.

  2. The truth is it will take much time and effort to reduce carbon. The planting of trees should be perpetual, ongoing, and never ending. Once trees are planted they grow 365 days a year, year after year. Yes, the right locations matter, but they must be planted, and we must educate each and every generation to do so. We can’t wait for some single day organized planting event so we all feel good for a minute. Maintenance and management of our trees and forest must also be an ongoing exercise to insure the maximum life span of the trees. It’s also a very easy and healthy event to plant and maintain trees. This must become a priority, in both the planting and maintenance, but the public funding needs to be permanent for such in our urban areas and government owned lands.

  3. The problem is these housing developers. I didn’t list any names because they all do it. They only care about profit. They cut down MASSIVE amounts of trees on a daily basis. Faster than people can plant them. Only then we get into the affordable housing issue. If we mandate developers save trees, then house prices go up. Seems like a catch 22.

    Whatever happens…
