I'll never forget roadtripping through Scotland and just being blown away by how few trees they had on their hills and mountains. So much area prime for reforestation!

Iceland is very similar, though getting better with reforestation efforts. The problem that far North is the trees grow incredibly slowly, and when they're small (which they are for longer), they're vulnerable. That's the real benefit of this machine, you skip the bit where the deer eat all your saplings and you're back to square one.

I always knew deer would be on the wrong side of climate change

The issue that comes from that is that the ground has been made extremely boggy and resistant to reforestation as a result of ripping all the foliage out
