reafforestation
Regrowing cleared woodlands
Reafforestation is the replanting of trees in an area that was previously forested but had been cleared or depleted: The government launched a reafforestation program to restore the watershed.
The term is largely interchangeable with reforestation, though reafforestation sometimes emphasizes returning land specifically to its original forested state.
