Natural forest regrowth offers a lower-cost path to climate and #biodiversity goals
by University of Queensland, edited by Swati Mestri, reviewed by Robert Egan
August 20, 2026Excerpt: "As nations race to restore #ecosystems and curb #ClimateChange, research has shown that letting nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution. A study from the University of Queensland and the University of Newcastle found that natural forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional #TreePlanting programs. The work is published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
"School of the Environment Ph.D. candidate Jiaqi Li said the team mapped how the costs and benefits of natural regeneration varied across the tropics.
" 'Nature is a great gardener. Sometimes we just need to get out of its way while providing a bit of support,' Li said.
" 'For tree planting, you need to purchase seeds and hire workers or recruit volunteers to plant and manage them, which is costly.
" 'For natural regeneration, people just need to check the land for #InvasiveSpecies and remove them, make sure there are adequate seed sources, provide protection from fire, #GrazingAnimals and humans, and then it is mostly self-sufficient.
" 'In many cases of natural regeneration, studies show that you can end up with a forest that could store more carbon and is more #biodiverse than a planted forest.' "

Meet the #IndigenousWomen restoring #Kenya’ s #MauForest — and reshaping gender roles
Juliet Akoth Ojwang
11 Aug 2026Exceprt: "Restoring forests, rebuilding livelihoods
For Nancy Letina, chairperson of Namaiyana Women’s Group within the Paran network, joining the collective in 2021 transformed not only how she viewed conservation but also her family’s economic future.
" 'Previously, as #Maasai women, we depended on our husbands for everything, even household items like salt,' Letina said. But in 2019, that changed after her husband died, leaving her as the breadwinner with the responsibility to provide for her four children.
"The first two years after losing her husband were difficult. Together with a handful of women facing similar hardships from Olomaiayana-Iltirben village in Melelo ward, Letina formed a self-help group that supported members during times of need. Their fortunes began to change when the group joined Paran and received training in #sustainable livelihood activities.
" 'We gained knowledge that showed us that every woman can also fend for herself. Today, women have their own income. We can pay school fee arrears when our children are sent home and respond to emergencies without waiting for assistance.'
"Her group currently manages a 0.2-hectare (half-acre) #TreeNursery where they grow indigenous species such as the African olive (Olea europaea subsp. africana), valued in forest restoration for supporting #biodiversity and also widely used in traditional medicine, which they periodically supply to Paran. Letina’s group has sold 10,600 indigenous tree seedlings to the organization since joining. One seedling goes for 20 shillings ($0.15). The proceeds support both members and group activities."

Utilizing a #3DFence to deter #Deer for #Agroforestry #TreePlantings
A cost effective method that can be effective, provided it is well designed and deep pressure is moderate
Wellspring Forest Farm
May 01, 2026"This article shares lessons from our experience building and maintaining a 3D fencing system designed to protect entire tree-planting sites on farms and other landscapes. This is a longer read but for those interested in landscape scale tree planting - we feel it is well worth the information we gleaned from this project.
For the past fifteen years at #WellspringForestFarm, we’ve planted hundreds of trees, using a range of deer-deterrent strategies. Everything from tall and electric fencing to tree tubes, cages, and dogs, each with its own strengths and limitations."

As I've argued elsewhere, we're likely to be very short of metals and cement over the next few centuries, since we will not have enough 'green' smelters and kilns.
Consequently, as well as planting forests to sequester carbon, we are also going to need much more timber as structural material. So we need to be planting #resilient forests, using genetic stock adapted to a variety of climates.
-
However, while temperatures in #Scotland are likely to continue to climb until the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) collapses, it is likely to drop sharply after that.
When will the collapse happen? No one seems to know. Early next century seems to be the best guess. So while trees maturing within 100 years need to be heat and drought tolerant, those maturing later need to be cold tolerant.

"Provenances of... species from more southerly latitudes have... been found to outperform local provenances... However, survival and stem form can be compromised if the transfer distance is too large, or if the transfer is made from an area with a continental climate"
So, if you're planting trees in #Scotland and you think we're heading for 2° warming, you want to be sourcing seed from around Bordeaux; if 5°, Lisbon.

Earth Day 2045: Beyond Greenwashing
This image gives us a powerful warning: planting a few trees for the cameras means little if we continue destroying forests, polluting water, and damaging the environment behind the scenes.
Real environmental action is not about appearances—it is about protecting ecosystems, reducing pollution, restoring forests, and holding ourselves accountable.
Don’t just celebrate the environment; take one meaningful action every day to protect it. But are we truly protecting the Earth, or are we only pretending to care when the cameras are watching?

I’m Senono Steven, an environmental activist from Uganda committed to protecting our planet and building a healthier, greener future for everyone.
My work is driven by a simple belief: environmental protection is not only about nature—it is about people, communities, health, livelihoods, and the future generations who will inherit the world we leave behind.
I use my voice, knowledge, and actions to raise awareness about climate change, environmental conservation, pollution, waste management, biodiversity, tree planting, sustainable living, and the importance of protecting our natural resources.
I believe meaningful change starts with individuals and grows through communities. That is why I encourage young people and everyone around me to take practical action, share environmental knowledge, care for their surroundings, and become part of solutions rather than remaining silent about environmental challenges.
My mission is to inspire environmental responsibility, promote sustainable practices, support conservation, and encourage communities to protect the ecosystems that sustain us.
My vision is a Uganda—and a world—where people and nature can thrive together, where clean air and water are valued, forests and biodiversity are protected, and future generations can enjoy a safe and sustainable planet.
I’m here to learn, connect, educate, collaborate, and turn environmental concern into action. Every tree planted, every piece of waste properly managed, every person inspired, and every positive conversation can contribute to a bigger change.
Protect nature. Inspire action. Build a sustainable future.

#Michigan - Oakland County #RainSmart program expected to keep millions of gallons of #water out of #sewer - here's how
By Amber Eikenberry
Published January 27, 2026 12:51pmOAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - "Two years of helping Oakland County residents install green infrastructure is expected to keep 1.4 million gallons of stormwater out of the sewer system annually.
"During the two-year RainSmart Rebates pilot program, residents located in the George W. Kuhn Drain Drainage District were able to receive money to install rain gardens, rain barrels, and native trees to their yards.
Participants were able to install one garden, up to two trees, and two rain barrels after an evaluation of their property to determine which infrastructure would work best.
By the numbers:
According to Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash, the second year of the program, which started in 2024 and just wrapped up, saw a 22% increase in participation from 2024.
This past year, 379 rain barrels, 199 native trees, and 105 rain gardens were installed.
In 2024, there were 159 rain barrels, 98 trees, and 49 rain gardens installed.
Since the pilot began, nearly 300 residents have participated. A total of more than $176,000 rebates were distributed, with the average participant receiving $500 for their projects.
Why it matters:
Flooding is a major issue in many parts of #MetroDetroit, especially in cities that are part of the #GeorgeWKuhnDrain Drainage District, including all or part of Berkley, Beverly Hills, Birmingham, Clawson, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Madison Heights, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Royal Oak Township, Southfield, and Troy,
This is because it is a combined sewer system. In a combined system, #wastewater and #stormwater both flow through the same pipes, known as gray infrastructure, and go to a wastewater treatment plant.
This means that during periods of intense rain like Metro Detroit has been seeing more frequently, the system can get overwhelmed. The result? Flooded streets and backups into homes.
Also, there is a greater likelihood of contaminants making it into the system. This is a concern even for homes not on a combined sewer system.
Rain barrels, trees, and native plant gardens all help reduce the amount of rainwater that makes it to the sewer system."
