Dogs in Chile helping to replant burnt forests

Dogs in Chile helping to replant burnt forests
3 hours ago

But these three dogs are helping to replant it all.

Since March the Border Collies have been scampering around the burned forest with special satchels that spread seeds as they run to sow seedlings, grass and flowers.
