Many forest landowners choose to add trees to
their landscape. Tree planting can be used as a
way to reclaim cutover land, convert an old field
or pasture, or to ensure that a particular tree species
is abundant and productive for wildlife food,
high quality timber, or aesthetic values. Tree planting
can be very rewarding, however, it takes a
little planning to make sure that your new trees get
established and grow. This article will look at four
things to consider for a tree planting project: where
to get your trees, how to store them before planting,
preparing the planting site, and protecting and caring
for your trees.
