> Where do you go to plant trees such that you can be certain the trees won't just be cut down in a few years

Your own property, literally anywhere trees can survive.



So... no where? Where I live you either live in an apartment or in a house that is 5 feet away from neighboring houses in all directions. What percentage of the population is rich enough to own empty land that they can plants trees on?


A substantial part of Maine's population...?


Few Americans own enough property to allow them to plant anything like as many trees as are required to offset their carbon emissions.
