Tree Planting
How it works
A variety of desired tree species, either seedlings or seeds, are planted mechanically or by hand in understocked woodlands or open fields. Tree species are matched with soil types are selected to prevent soil erosion, increase income, or boost productivity or existing woodland.
How it helps
- Improving stands of woodlands can increase profits.
- Ground cover created by trees and associated debris protects soil from rill and sheet erosion.
- Ground cover also protects water quality by filtering excess nutrients and chemicals from surface runoff and increasing infiltration rates.
- Healthy, well-managed woodlands provide long-term wildlife habitat.
