In Gros Morne National Park, located in western Newfoundland, crews have begun a significant initiative to plant trees as part of a restoration effort for the park's forests. This effort comes in response to the extensive damage inflicted by a historically high population of moose known to have inhabited the area. The overpopulation of moose has led to considerable grazing pressures on the forests, significantly affecting the local ecosystem. The tree-planting project aims to plant 1.25 million trees, which is expected to play a crucial role in the recovery of these forested areas. This initiative underscores the ongoing efforts to rehabilitate crucial habitats and restore balance within the park's ecosystems.
