👍 Fascinating analysis - love both of your conclusions = "the dog got a walk" 😁 & the new forest not being the same as the one destroyed but "sometimes that's good enough" in view of the fact the old one can't/won't come back 🥹
On a re-planting project I volunteered on, we used the gorse as a "nursery" for the natives we planted, some of which I was lucky to see grow above & kill the gorse. It was bush turned into farm turned into abandoned, and the pasture grass was the biggest "weed" and hardest to fight in open areas - constant weeding else it choked & smothered 🤷
Indeed, "sometimes that's good enough"....
Bit depressing today, but always interesting.
