More like a managed herd in a fenced paddock. A spring tourist attraction.

I wonder how climate change is going to affect the idealistic "restore the ecosystem" plan.

Definitely more of a luxury exercise. A sort of zoo with even more researchers and administrators watching over

Id personally put that money into fighting the Pine Beatles which at this moment are killing huge swathes of existing wildlife and ecosystems. But that’s hard laborious work.
