Australian Forests Are Springing Back to Life After the Devastating Bushfires. Here Are 20 Fresh Photos of Hope

Good news from Australia: after the massive bushfires, the affected trees and plants are slowly coming back to life. Green, yellow, and red sprouts are pushing through burned tree trunks and drought-affected soil.

Every day the people of Australia are sharing new pictures that show how plants have started sprouting after the bushfires, and here are some fresh and uplifting shots:
