Italy’s forest policy lessons for America on reforestation
The United States might learn from Italy’s policy of rapid reforestation begun a generation ago. Italy has planted 122000 acres across 25 provinces in 30 years, with 69000 acres planted in 1997 alone and a yearly expense around 2 million dollars. The government invites private owners to plant, providing 130 million trees and 257000 pounds of seed to private landowners over four decades, restoring about 100000 acres of land as Italy’s forest area totals about 10 million acres.
