Rainforests are rain-making machines worth tens of billions of dollars to other forest ecosystems, agriculture and society. When we deforest or clearcut we disturb rainforest impact on the climate.

EXAMPLES OF RESTORATION FORESTRY - Norfolk County Ontario

Most people don’t realize it, but Norfolk County has one of the richest forest histories in all of Ontario. What we see today, the woodlots, the Carolinian species, the conservation areas, is the result of more than a century of restoration, stewardship, and community pride.

Once the “Tobacco Belt,” now the “Reforestation Capital of Canada.”
In the early 1900s, Norfolk’s sandy soils were blowing away, farms were failing, and the land was in trouble. That crisis sparked one of the largest reforestation efforts in Canadian history.

The St. Williams Forestry Station (1908) . . .
Canada’s first forestry station was established right here. Millions of seedlings were grown and shipped across the province, helping restore degraded land and stabilize the region.

Carolinian Canada, right in our backyard . . .
Norfolk is home to species you won’t find in most of the country: tulip trees, sassafras, black gum, pawpaw, and more. It’s one of the most biodiverse regions in Canada.

Thousands of private woodlots . . .
Many families in Norfolk quietly care for small forests on their land, some passed down for generations. These woodlots protect wildlife, store carbon, and keep our landscape beautiful.

Backus Woods, a national treasure . . .
One of the largest remaining old‑growth Carolinian forests in Canada. Walking there feels like stepping back in time.
Trees as community guardians. They protect our soil, cool our summers, shelter wildlife, and give Norfolk that unmistakable rural charm, the hedgerows, the windbreaks, the shaded backroads we all love.

Here is a study of how society corrected past mistakes.

Could any of this have to do with the missing forests on the west coast mountains? Everything is A Okay no need for more ecological forestry. Industrial forestry is doing a fine job.
