Well what do ya know… it IS a real word
English…
Where’s my planting shovel? I’m going afforesting!
That must be such a satisfying and fulfilling feeling. I’d feel like a proud father.
Where’s the bubble buster guy that criticizes the plant selection and unnatural layout or something

Only a small part of the usual criticism will apply for this guy’s forest
Ill be that guy. I bet theres no wildlife, its all being forested by human intervention. Like the black hills, same situation.
Then I’ll be the annoying, still optimistic guy.
Won’t animals appear over time? With birds and insects first, then that attracts others?
Or can’t animals be relocated there and thrive if it’s similar to their natural habitat?
Are you suggesting the trees ran off all the abundant wildlife that used to hang out when it was all barren looking? Should he have planted deer instead of trees or something? It’s a weird ass objection…
Well no, theres plenty of animals that prefer grasslands. Prarie Dogs for example.
Ok what the hell, if you look this guy up you find like 4 articles from the fakest journalism sites ever that have just tried to write the same 4 paragraphs in a different way and barely that and then basically just reddit and social media posts talking about him.
There is no official or respected group talking about this. So take this whole story with a grain of salt and hefty skepticism.
But, it seems he was in charge of the forest management department for Sinop and used his team and government funding (and apparently a lot of volunteer labor of the towns people) to plant trees to help a deforested area in the 1970s to 90s and now an additional 25 plus years later they are showing off the trees are still alive.
Please note the not alone and government funded position to literally be in charge of trees. But man I would love to retire after 19 years of work too.
I bet he’s that guy that companies claim is planting trees on their behalf.
What an amazing feat to plant so many trees while holding such a big photograph.
One person and a lot of funding can make a difference
He must have been knackered after afforresting all of that while holding the huge print.
Does this qualify as orphancrushingmashine?
This is wholesome, but not a meme
Chrono Trigger made me grow up thinking you’d need several lifetimes and inhuman resolve to single handedly plant a forest.
people can do so much if the police doesn’t stop them
Planting the same type of tree doesn’t make a forest. It’s a tree farm.
By himself?
Such a good person.
