Can Forest Management Reduce Our Carbon Footprint?
1:20:16 - 1:23:35 (03:19)
The potential of forest management in reducing carbon footprint has been proven by science, and if all 250 million acres of national forests in the US were treated, a measurable difference in the carbon footprint could be seen. However, it may take some time before the results become evident, possibly within a few years.

Summary
The time it takes to see a measurable difference in carbon footprint through afforestation and carbon sequestration varies depending on the species and location, but typically takes years to see results. In agriculture, the growth rate is usually around 15-20% in the first year but can be higher or lower for trees.
