Hidden Mickey Forest! Attractions Magazine recaps the efforts of Cast Members in 1992, as they plant 50,000 pine trees in a very familiar shape. The original reforestation project was planned in an area devastated by drought years before. One team member added, “Besides making the land more beautiful, the trees will provide wildlife habitat, replenish oxygen in the atmosphere, stabilize soil and provide straw for mulch.”
