Question: why would you want to make model trees

I don’t make model trees, but I can see why you might think that from my profile page! I use a “model” which is like a computer game of the Earth to look at how important the trees are and how they affect other things. We call this a “model” like you might call a model train set a “model”, because it’s a pretend version of the real thing.
