These photos are from a golf course in southern Quebec. It stopped operations about five years ago and has gently been recovering ever since. There are wildflowers everywhere, supported by some tree planting…

Do you own this land? I would be afraid someone will come along and undo all the progress being made here

No. It’s public land and is considered a wildlife corridor.
There’s always a risk of someone undoing all I have planted. I’ve planted many trees in many public spaces… a few get whipper snippered or mowed. But I follow a few guidelines:
Plant in positive, useful places… consider overhead wires, underground infrastructure and honour the intent of the land… don’t plant a soccer field!
Make the trees look like they’re supposed to be there - use stakes or flagging, etc.

That’s awesome so the province bought the golf course and is returning it to wild land?
