Reforestation is not only used for recovery of accidentally destroyed forests. In some countries, such as [[Finland]], many of the forests are ''managed'' by the wood products and [[pulp and paper industry]]. In such an arrangement, like other crops, trees are planted to replace those that have been cut. The Finnish Forest Act from 1996 obliges the forest to be replanted after [[felling]].<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.metsakeskus.fi/oikeudet-ja-velvollisuudet |title= Oikeudet ja velvollisuudet |publisher= Metsäkeskus (Forest Center) |language= fi |trans-title= Rights and responsibilities |access-date= 7 July 2020}}</ref> In such circumstances, the industry can cut the trees in a way to allow easier reforestation.{{Cn|date=November 2024}}

Reforestation, if several [[Native plant|indigenous species]] are used, can provide other benefits in addition to financial returns, including [[Soil regeneration|restoration of the soil]], rejuvenation of local flora and fauna, and the capturing and sequestering of 38 [[ton]]s of [[carbon dioxide]] per [[hectare]] per year.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Henkel|first=Marlon|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s2HxCQAAQBAJ&q=Reforestation,+of+several+indigenous+species+are+used,+can+provide+other+benefits+in+addition+to+financial+returns,&pg=PA126|title=21st Century Homestead: Sustainable Agriculture III: Agricultural Practices|date=22 February 2015|publisher=Lulu.com|isbn=978-1-312-93975-2|pages=126|language=en}}</ref>
