    yay, even more acres of sterile monoculture tree farm that burn even hotter when the wildfire rips through …

      (yes, replying to myself)

      • this would be so easy to do at a corporate level
        • something along the lines of Miyawaki forests
          • more variety of trees (just say “no” to monoculture)
          • more trees
          • less space
          • less maintenance (allow the undergrowth to grow in)
      • but no corporation would do this
        • tree farms allow them to double-dip – claim the carbon credits AND harvest the timber
        • requires them to put in initial research into choosing native species

        The research is already done. All they need to do is call a local university agriculture extension where they are considering a project.
