I love this idea. I hope that these trees are certified organic seedlings and plants. If they are bought in the US, more than likely contain long lasting pesticides called neonicotinoids that last on these plants for 5 -12 years. Rain will not wash off the insecticide. The plants and seeds used in this program must be either 1. native plants that were never treated or 2. USDA Certified Organic or Certified Biodynamic to ensure that these new trees actually help the local eco system. Neonicotinoids weaken the immune systems of honey bees, native bees, butterflies and thousands of other pollinators. I would like to learn more about this information. Thank you for sharing this post.
