Some years back, I worked on a B*M crew of 100 or so men tasked with planting pine trees to reclaim a very large area destroyed by fire. The trees were little guys, seedlings no more than 5 inches tall with a root ball contained in a biodegradable pouch. We had canvass packs in which to carry something like 25 or 30 seedlings which could easily be refilled from the thousands of seedlings loaded in the trucks. With your basic garden trowel, it took maybe thirty seconds or less to plant one. Jam the trowel down into the soil, lift it out, place the seedling, tamp the soil in, and Voila, a pine tree. Walk ten feet, repeat, and by the end of the day, 100 men had planted a couple thousand pines. It was invigorating work up there high on those mountains.
To see the world in a grain of sand,
and a Heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour.

He promised a healthcare system better than anything ever too, I see nothing done by the GOP to ready a replacement for what they are still trying to end.

My guess is that 100 men can plant more like a couple hundred each in a day, I've done that work too in the Sierras after a huge fire

And for years the Republicans have been like spineless "bad parents" letting the dems push the envelope ever further into insanity because they've learned that throwing a tantrum gets them their way

The supervisor and half the guys in the crew I worked with were Native Americans and those guys didn't screw around. Took us maybe a minute to plant one seedling and move on to the next. That's an average of 60 trees per hour. We worked a 10 hour shift, you do the math. Try it with just 50 men planting 50 trees per hour.

I planted an average of 1000 trees per day- there were guys who could plant more.

If each person at least in US plants 1 Tree we could save the planet!!! I truly believe that!!
What are we saving the planet from? If you will do a little research and study climate cycles, you will realize that this whole man made c*****e c****e is nothing but a s**m promoted by the UN which is working toward a one world dictatorship.

Nothing wrong with planting trees though...
Wood is very useful...
They are a beautifying factor in any landscape...
And they freshen up the air...

Planting trees is great, but I don't want any planted on my ranch. I have a very difficult time dealing with the brush that is natural.
