The myth that tree planting is just great: first, the p word. In most parts of the country , trees will plant themselves if left alone. And trees planted by nature are much more likely to survive.

Second, that tree planting soaks up carbon. Yes, only above ground, and only temporarily, until the tree dies. C storage in the ground, through the roots of grassland, or in wetland has much more potential to be long term.
