Tree Planting and
Reforestation Tuna Now
Now is the time for spring tree planting projects. Bill Vernam, forester for Virginia Division of Forestry, wishes to remind landowners in the county that spring tree planting time will soon be here and those owners thinking about or definitely planning to,plant trees should contact him in Warrenton or Chief Forest Warden Raymond Johnson in Woodville so that they may obtain assistance in planning and carrying out their projects.
The Virginia Division of Forestry offers a free planting site examination to landowners contemplating reforestation projects. A forester will examine the proposed planting site and make recommendations for site preparation, if needed, the most suitable species to plant, the number of trees needed and the best method or methods of planting them. Assistance is also given in ordering trees from the state nurseries. Loblolly pine, white pine, shortleaf pine, Virginia pine, yellow poplar, black walnut and black locust seedlings may be obtained from the nurseries at a cost of $4.50 to $8.50 per thousand trees delivered to the planting site.
Cost sharing assistance for tree planting may also be obtained through the Rappahannock County Agriculture Conservation Program- Mr. Vernam suggests that landowners thinking about reforestation projects contact the ASC office in Washington for information on the program.
Plan now and plant a future timber crop.
