“Bring back real forests across Europe” (The Ecologist) All the reasons for reestablishing large natural forest areas in the UK and elsewhere are clearly spelled out by a professional environmentalist. “It’s not enough to simply have more trees, however, reforestation must take the form of restoring natural forests, not lining up further industrial woodlands.
