@JoBlakely Starting to think we’re talking past each other. I was suggesting that one of the lessons from the linked projects is that trees and plants and their habitat play a vital role in the life of aquifers, which makes it important that we not overgraze/over harvest the places that already have those things so we don’t have to do projects like these later to fix messes we create. I’m not arguing there’s no hope, but that these projects add value to the argument for conservation efforts.
