Afforestation
Early settlers to the Palouse subsisted on crops grown on the region's fertile soils. Often they had to clear timber from their homesteads to create farmland. Over time, they converted hundreds of thousands of acres of timberland to farms.
This deforestation has resulted in impaired water quality in many of the area's streams. For most of these streams, water quality can be recovered by afforestation, the act of reclaiming farmland by planting trees. Over the past several years, Bennett Lumber has reclaimed over 2,000 acres of farmland. Eventually these lands will revert back to forests, with the same native flora and fauna found in the adjacent timberlands. |
