Foresting

/ˈfɔːrɪstɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The process of planting trees or converting land into forest; engaging in forest management or forestry work.

Etymology

From 'forest' + '-ing' (a gerund or present participle suffix), creating the active process form of the verb 'to forest' (to cover with trees).

Kelly Says

Reforestation programs use 'foresting' to describe what's happening—it's literally re-creating forests where they once stood, which sounds simple but requires incredible knowledge about which species belong together.
