New England, in living memory, has gone from mainly farm fields to one gigantic dense forest. Is that natural? What were New England’s dominant herbivores? Would reintroducing them, or analogs, create savannah? Might that be economically advantageous, as well as ecologically?

Reachable as a day trip from London :) Not sure how interesting it would be for a casual visit, though. Point about cows eating leaves as well as grass was interesting. Maybe that’s what makes Slanker’s better than other grass-fed beef? Savannah rather than plain pasture.

Ah I'd forgotten about this, should really visit! (I'm from Sussex and visit family there pretty often.)
