By reforesting idle farmland with fast-growing trees, we are helping to combat global warming. However, simply planting trees is not enough! We must choose for planting those trees that are fast- growing on local soil conditions and manage these new forests for continued rapid growth rates. The trees we plant must have potential for efficient conversion into useful products with a long storage life (such as structural building materials, furniture, wood trim). In the Wingham District, white pine frequently meets these criteria best. Our goal: to quickly "lock up" carbon in the wood of vigorous new plantations and to keep it there, in the form of forests and wood products, over the long term. Our future may depend upon it!
