Summary

Interesting Things with JC #1627: "British Columbia Tree Seed Centre" – A government seed bank stores millions of tree seeds labeled by exact origin while forests are already being cut and replanted, and every new hillside is rebuilt using seeds matched not by species alone but by the specific elevation and climate they came from, repeating this selection every time land is cleared.
