Afforestation - SS2 Agriculture Lesson Note

Afforestation is like planting the seeds of a new forest. It involves intentionally planting trees in areas where there was no forest before. Here are key aspects:

Planting Trees: People plant tree saplings in areas like open fields or degraded land to start a new forest.

Diverse Planting: Different tree species may be planted to create a diverse and resilient forest.
