Far better than the plantation monoculture “forestry” I observed during a visit to Scotland in 2010.

Hope it will not be a uniculture, and that they are planting a diverse variety.

The permafrost is melting due to global warming so expect to see lots more forests. Good move.

Yes, but do they have to be planted in serried ranks? Wouldn’t a scheme inspired by nature be better?

The current scheme is most likely management driven and once established the environment will have its effect on reshaping the look.

16 years ago ouer school in Norway, went to Iceland and planted trees.
This has been done many years before we went there, and been done every year sins…
They’ve been planting forests for decades now. Trees that are 15 years old around only about 4-5 feet high. I was told the joke in Iceland is that if you’re ever lost in the forest, just stand up!

Iceland is just below the Arctic Circle, about the same as Nome, Alaska …. trees relatively rare

It takes a lot longer time for a tree to grow in colder regions and they usually aren’t becoming that high either because of the heavy winds… Since they break down otherwise.
Years ago they planted new trees and its only now that they start to see them like trees and not only shrubbery…
