The New Jersey Highlands Coalition is hosting an essential webinar with Leslie Sauer discussing why #NewJersey is cutting down its best defense against #climatechange, and why ecological restoration and #proforestation should be the default practice on public #forests if we are to meet our #ClimateGoals .

The webinar will be held on December 28th 2022, at 7:00pm via Zoom. You can register using the following link:

(🧵)

#forestation = growing a forest

#ProForestation = growing an existing forest to it's fullest ecological potential.

#ReForestation = regrowing a forest where one was before. This is often done to stop #deforestation and #desertification.

#afforestation = growing a forest where none was before, e.g. to regenerate the soil or attract rain.

Some of my favorite forestation projects:

The #GreatGreenWall of Africa - a project to stop the desertification of the Sahel region.

#Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees.

#ForestFinance - invest in forestation projects across the globe.
