Forests emerged about 300 million years ago, from the evolution of cells that gave rise to life on the planet. The first were formed by the great-grandmothers of the ferns – up to 40 meters tall! Nobody planted them: reproduction took place through spores, cells that germinate, giving rise to a plant. As the spores were carried by the wind, forests spread and plants evolved to their present diversity.
