OK, this might sound bizarre but Ive been thinking about it for a couple years. I have some land currently under cultivation but not ideal farm land, as its rolling hills and somewhat steep in areas. Lets say about 10 acres to start with. I would like to see this land eventually return to a hardwood forest. I realize it would not happen in my lifetime but that really doesnt matter. I would just like to know its on its way to becoming a forest again. Now I could just stop doing anything to it and let it naturally go back to woods. Neighbor essentially did that about 30 years ago and its grown up considerably in that time. Just wondering what I could do to kick start the process in my case. I was thinking of planting oats on it this year but the idea occurred to me of mixing in a bunch of various hardwood tree seeds into the oats when I drill them. Then harvesting the oats and maybe cutting them a little high and leaving the stubble & straw. Hoping some of the tree seeds would germinate and take hold . From that point on letting nature take its course. Anybody think this would do anything or just a waste of time?
