Tree Planting

Most farms have some cleared land that is no longer feasible to farm. Government programs offering cost sharing and tax incentives make these areas ideal for tree planting. Forest Management Services, Inc. is familiar with the programs available and can help you develop a tree planting plan and program that best suits your needs.

Planting trees is a complicated process. In addition to a tree planter, it also requires familiarity with soil types, herbicide, tree seedling health, and the follow-up care that young seedlings need.

We know that rice won't perform well if grown on a hilltop and that corn is likely to fail if planted in a bog!  The same logic can be used with trees.  Also, some trees like "wet feet" and can tolerate long periods of flooding.  Silver maple, cottonwood and green ash are but a few.  Others, such as white and black oaks, and black locust can tolerate drier conditions.

Our knowledge of tree soils will prevent you from making irreversible mistakes.  Planting the wrong trees on a site will yield the wrong results, but planting the right trees on a site means a healthy, happy woodland investment.

Larry's forty years of reforestation experience will serve you well at the start of your projects. We will help you in planning, tax breaks, and government programs to a successful and economical investment.

Match the tree to the site!
