Spring time!  We’ve recently finished all of the seedling planting.  The bulk of the planting was in fields harvested last season but we also further expanded the “meadow field” in our 10-acre woods.  The trees in this natural meadow will be fully unsheared and more open shaped.  It will truly be an “over the hills and through the woods” cut-your-own experience!  It will take these fields about 5 more years before they’ll be ready for harvest.

We also finished mulching all of the new seedlings after planting.  We use a spreading machine to apply the wood chip mulch up and down each row.  The wood chips help retain soil moisture, cool the soil temperature, reduce weed growth, and improve the soil structure and composition.  Overall this helps make a stronger and healthier environment for the trees to grow!
