My LIT WOOD
County Forester
We are now accepting orders for tree seedlings for planting in February, March, and April 1979. The Virginia Division of Forestry produces seedlings at the Augusta Forestry Center, and sells them at cost of production.. As an incentive for reforestation on private land, forest industry will pay one half of the cost of pine seedlings in some cases.
These seedlings are produced for purposes of reforestation of cutover land, old field plantations, Christmas tree production, wildlife habitat, and soil conservation. They cannot be used for ornamental, “screening,” or shade tree plantings.
Trees which are planted in this area for timber production include white pine and loblolly pine, (due to seedling crop failures, yellow poplars and black walnuts will not be available this season). Wildlife habitat can be established or improved by planting persimmon, sawtooth oak, bicolor lespedeza, autumn olive, and bristly locust. Species suitable for Christmas trees are white pine and Scotch pine. The best soil stabilizers are Virginia pine, black locust, and bicolor lespedeza.
Order forms can be obtained from my office (P. O. Box 148, Madison, Va. 22727). Where assistance is needed, I can take a look at the prospective planting site and make suggestions as to species, spacing, number of
