I hope the panel is aware of the first few years after initial cutover, and in sandy soil, low bush wild blueberry bushes grow...and are hand picked by local residents...picking blueberries is part of our lives.
These blueberries are small and richer in flavour than commercially grown berries.

in just a couple of years the poplar and birch pop up, and they shade the area for the coniferous trees.
These days, though, Ministry of Natural Resources does a great job of planting spruce seedlings in cutover areas to hasten new growth.

Nature does the best job, just needs a helping hand. The forest industry in NWO, has been very proactive in helping to renew cutover areas....
