TREE SEEDLINGS NOW BEING SHIPPED
Moving day has come for the young forest tree seedlings in the state’forest tree nurseries at Charlottesville and New Kept. Young trees for Virginia’s future forests are now traveling the highways of the state on their way to new homes in mountain, piedmont and tidewater Sections of the state.
With the melting of heavy winter snows and early signs of spring, the Virginia Division of Forestry reports that tree lifting, packing and shipping is now in full swing at the two state nurseries. Some 55 million trees are now being forwarded to landowners for planting in the months of March and April 1961. These trees will be used to reforest cutover woodlands, abandoned land and to conserve soil and water.
William C. Vemam, Forester, reports that seedlings are still available to landowners at the low cost of $4.50 to $$.50 per thousand trees delivered to the planting site. People interested in reforsetation projects should contact the Virginia Division of Forestry, Box 111, Warrenton, Virginia or Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson, Woodville, Virginia for free planting advice and assistance in ordering and planting trees. Plant trees have a share in developing Virginia’s forests in the future.
