Why plant trees?

Moulton, R. J.

This forum features an outstanding slate of experts on the science and art of reforesting strip mined lands. They will give you information on the status of reforestation efforts and the latest on emerging new technologies, address how to overcome barriers, and talk about opportunities. This paper does not address these topics. Rather, its purpose is to establish the forestry context--to set the stage for OSM/State reforestation efforts by providing an overview of the extent, condition, trends, and importance of America's forest resources and to provide an overview of tree planting in the United States.
