Human activity has turned most of Scotland's beautiful and ancient forests into monoculture plantations. This pushes endless animals and species out of their natural habitat, drastically reducing biodiversity.
That’s why in our twelfth Planet Wild mission, we’re transforming monoculture plantations into real forests, using an unusual reforestation technique. Spoiler alert: not a single tree was planted.
A special thanks to scotlandbigpicture.com for providing us with additional footage.

Gracias!! 😊😁
yea
Why not plant some native trees as well?
More Forestation please!! 🌲🪵🌳
Incredible idea, and I'm so glad that this is happening. Thank you.
Mission Earth Community! Let's help to revive this Forrest.
I am an arborist. It is my goal to do this on 40 acres in the US. I am currently struggling because it takes a lot of logistics. If you want to be part of it you are welcome to join me.
I could use such a neighbor as you...if you are serious.
Yeah!
Mission Erde geht ran!!!
Mission Earth Community is here
this has huge "kill your lawn" vibes and I love it!
Edit: Yall have been blowing up my notifications, I just want to let all people who commented here know that ur all cute and wholesome and ILU all
Really happy to hear our mission finds meaning with you, thanks! 💚
I hadnt thought about the lawn vibes of these monocultures but totally true. (Killed my lawn in 2020)
Good on you! I hope you have a really cool native plant garden now! @@blakereid5785

I have been gardening in my lawn and it’s delicious!! 😁🍏🍐🍋🍊🫐🍓🍇🍆🍅🍑🍒🥦🌶🫑🌽🍠🥔🌻🐓🦃
You can’t stop seeing the green desert once you’ve seen it. Kudos to sharing the insight and letting nature truly take over.
Your support is much appreciated, thank you! 💚
What they are building is a forest fire waiting to happen.
I lived in the UK for a few years. I was amazed at what people considered natural environments. They had yet to learn what conservation or natural environments actually were. It felt like the land was dead; it had lost its spirit and power. I am so glad you are doing this here.
Thanks so much for appreciating our efforts in our mission! 💚
This makes me so sad to read but travelling different parts the world I know you are right
I was amazed to learn just how much the British landscape has been shaped by humans over hundreds of years.
@@smrk2452 I would be stunned if you could find a square foot in the UK that has not been heavily modified by the activities of people.
What a silly comment.. it's an overpopulated little island over populated.. what did you expect..the rain forest? 😅
Hello from the Mission Erde Community
I might be completely wrong, but is "Mission Erde" linked to a guy called Robert? I'm from the UK, but the name sounds so familiar. I think he is German. Apologies if I'm thinking of somebody else.
Marc Robert Lehmann@@Craig_Humphries
@@Craig_Humphries you are actually right ^^
thank you for announcing us 😂
Hello from the Mission Erde Community. ❤
I've got a 70-year-old monoculture farm forest that started decaying 10 years ago and this absolutely true - as soon as those trunks came down a whole variety of bushes and smaller trees came up. It's beautiful.
It's beautiful so long as they are natives that come up and not a new era of ecological problems in the shape of invasive species
yeah long term management is definitely important, especially in areas like this that have reduced resilience @@willieclark2256
@scpierobon That's truly powerful and inspiring to hear! 💚 It certainly echoes the essence of our mission- letting nature work its captivating magic while we observe in awe 💚🌲
Are they native species tho?
Awesome
This is exactly what I saw when I visited Scotland last summer more and more plantations for human use and less of forest even in the Highlands. Great work from PlantWild to restore forests by felling tree plantation.
Thanks so much for supporting our efforts in our mission! 💚
I'm 74, and have seen the reduction of woodland, hedges random trees. With it has come the massive reduction of birds and wildlife. It hurts to see it

I am also comming from Robert Marc Lehmann🙏🙏
Mission Erde got me here. Seems to be a brilliant way to give nature a fair chance. Go forest, go!
🤣👍
It is: run Forest run😆
😆@@Thrzul
This is what the world need, and forests in Scotland, Canada, and all over the Hearth will be back as they were
Thanks for the appreciation and support! 💚
Greetings from Mission Earth community, supporting a great project!
Hello from the Mission Erde community.
Danke Planet Wild, Danke Mission Erde, Danke Robert, Danke an everyone
Making Scotland more beautiful, more natural, is never a bad idea!
I´m so glad more and more people are bringing awareness to the "green desert" concept. A lot of people still look at monocultures and think it´s a healthy forest but I do believe that is starting to change!
Hey there, Mission Erde here!
Let's go, Mission Erde Community ✊🏼
Robert Marc Lehmann brought me here. Just in time.
Keep up your good work !
Thanks so much and welcome to our channel! Our new mission video goes live on April 15th. Feel free to subscribe and stay tuned with us 💚
Great project! We need more natural forests!
The nature-sounds reveal was very effective. I've hiked these forests before. They are living, yet not alive. Thank you again for everything you do.
Couldn't agree more! 💚 Really happy to hear our mission resonates with you, thank you 💚🌲
I 💜 ‘d it …. it was very effective!! Great video editing!! 💚
Practical lessons learned from deep observation of Gaia's wisdom .
Deep respect .
All of Sweden is one giant green desert. Almost no forests which are not manmade.
What degree do I need to make this my career
I have witnessed the transformation of a tree plantation into a healthy forest. The area was near me as a kid in Pennsylvania. It was devoid of life. A big storm knocked trees down and the floor exploded with life. Decades later you can't even tell that it was a plantation. I witnessed this transformation over 50 years. Few people even believed my story. Glad to see you speeding it up. That's my meter!!
Visiting chernobyl is probably easiest way to experience this for anyone.
@@shinobuoshino5066 Idk where you live, but this is definitely not the easiest way for people. Travel is expensive.
Not to mention visiting an area with high radiation is a terrible idea.
@@matthewryan4844 radiation is so deadly that life flourished after all people left...
@@ttenrabdn if you can't save money that's not my problem.
Glad people are still restoring nature
I wish to see many animals in natural forests in my lifetime and I wish that we could change forests like this into a paradise in a decade

sharing this with the family because we love restoring old groves
Hello from Mission Earth Community! Let's do this!
I hope to see you in the forest. You can put both your money and your efforts where your mouth is. I know of 20 acres that need your stewardship.(I am not nor have any affiliation with the seller). Come be my neighbor and help me.
Some love from the Mission Erde Community
I'd love to see more of this here in the US too.
I'm an ecologist who lives in one of the greenest but most manicured places (Singapore). Even when I was a child primary forest felt different to the manicured landscapes I grew up in but I could not put words to it and it seemed like others could not see the difference. Almost 40 years now later it is refreshing and validating to find a similar outlook. Looking at the initial shots of the plantation the first thing that popped into my mind was that something like a controlled forest fire is what's needed. How do I link up with you guys and do the kind of ecology that you do?
Greetings from the Mission Earth Community! Let's help to revive this Forrest
Come join me. I am doing. I can show you how.
Let's go!
I live in Canada and I’ve been in both “replanted” and old growth forests and the difference in even the atmosphere is huge
Hopefully Trudope doesn’t keep buying them down so he can blame “climate change”.
Couldn't agree more! The result is truly rewarding when you let nature run its enchanting magic 💚🌲
I lived in south-west Scotland for 10 years and saw the terrible, alien landscapes created by vast lifeless plantations and the desolation caused by clear felling. There were times when it felt that life would never return to some areas as any rain just washed away any soil once the trees had been taken, so it's good to see the trees being left to anchor life to the area. Best of luck with this project and one day I'll see you there.
Bring back the world the way it used to be. Rewind Planet Wild.

Many thanks to everyone who is supporting this task!
I’m here for that extra square meter of rehabilitated forest!
I’m a Pacific Northwesterner who grew up around both wild forests and timber plantations. The difference between the two is something everyone needs to be taught. Keep up the education and the restoration! 💚
We plan to inspire and educate a lot of people through our mission! 💚 Glad to hear our mission aligns with your interest 💚🌲
Me too. Surrounded by Siuslaw “national “ “forest”. A joke.
I also am from the Pacific NW. Oregon has been my home my entire life. Love our diversity in our national and private forests. Not so fond of the plantation style forests. They create dense places for fires to spread. Natural forests allow fire to burn through and just chare the forest floor leaving the trees to continue to flourish.
Most of Finland is also timber plantations, not actual forests. They want to call them multi-use forests, but in reality it's just raising trees for economic gains. The difference is so huge, but people think lots of trees means automaticly forest. Lobbying has been really effective : (
Amen. Almost all of Oregon is a depressing timber plantation, not a forest
Mission Earth Community has come to support this amazing project
I am an arborist. I have sole legal access to not only my property but to many more. Help me buy these other properties and we can preserve/restore them. Alternatively they are likely to burn down.
Thank you for pointing out that monoculture plantations are little more than deserts. Felled trees support a huge number of species and enrich the environment greatly. All the best of luck to you in this endeavour to re-wild Abernethy forest and increase biodiversity. I am delighted to be a PW backer.
Hey Audrey, thanks for appreciating our efforts in our mission! We're happy to have you as a part of our Planet Wild Community 💚🙏

thats absolutely beautiful and what a meaningful thing these guys are doing... thank you love love love..
Im so grateful that there are organizations that recognize that a true forest needs a diversity of species. “Rewild” is such a wonderful purpose! 🌳 🌴 🌲
Thanks so much for the support and appreciating our efforts in our mission! 💚🌲
Greetings from mission earth community. Let‘s rebuild this beautiful forest.
Great video, Scotland has a beautiful nature. Thanks you're saving and restoring it.
I love seeing all these different projects
The eeriness of the monoculture is something I've felt before but never quite understood why until this. Impressive.
A surprisingly similar eeriness is in the Olympic mountains. beautiful yet creepy, good Ole old growth
