That's not a good idea. I don't know who you are, but there are things that are just not done here. Including burning the forest. We don't have the resources to manage or contain a potential wildfire, to say nothing of the willing manpower. And then there's Moro, the wolf god that protects it.

[Nobody told him Moro was dead, and even he doesn't want to infuriate that old spirit.]

And crops take time to plant and grow. I'm not certain that will be a manageable goal for some time. To say nothing of the lack of livestock. It's a relatively recent project.
