Reforestation




Hand Planting Pine

Reforestation

Planting and reforestation increase timber growth with a healthier faster growing tree.  Reforest can take place either by natural regeneration or seedling planting depending on the objective of the landowner.  A common practice is to plant genetically improved seedlings on cut over land which will increase the rate of timber growth.  Seedlings are hand planted.

The fact is, mother nature will produce around 50-60 mature trees per acre in a hardwood stand at about 60-70 years of age.  As an alternative to stands that have been harvested and reforested with geneticaly improved Loblolly Pine trees followed by two income producing thinnings at 30-40 years of age the stand will produce around 110-120 trees per acre of mature sawtimber trees.
