Afforestation is the process of planting trees in areas where there were previously no trees. It is a key component of forestry, which is the management of forests for the purpose of producing timber, fuel, and other products. Afforestation is often used to restore degraded ecosystems, improve soil fertility, and reduce the impacts of climate change. It can also be used to create new habitats for wildlife, improve air quality, and provide recreational opportunities. Afforestation is a growing market, with many companies offering services such as tree planting, forest management, and reforestation. These companies often work with governments, non-governmental organizations, and private landowners to develop and implement afforestation projects. They may also provide consulting services, such as assessing the potential of a site for afforestation, and providing advice on the best species of trees to plant. Some companies in the afforestation market include ArborGen, Arbor Day Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, and Greening Australia. Show Less Read more
