I’d heard that project wasn’t going so well. The trees weren’t really suited to the areas where they were planted, and many died off. I suppose even if only a small percentage survive, it’s still better than desert.

I've seen some neat videos on YouTube that sound impressive. Are they impressive in real life? Anyone have any personal experience?
