Restoring Land and
Planting Trees
Healthy communities depend on a regular supply of clean water, fertile soils,
and usually on trees and the resources they provide and protect. To maintain
and improve the health of communities, it is important to learn how to restore
damaged land and how to use the land in sustainable ways. When land has
been damaged, trees cut down, and soil lost to erosion by wind and water,
there are many ways to make the land healthy and productive again.
