Forestry Extension Management Tips

Ordering Forest Tree Seedlings

Most forest landowners, particularly newer brethren, think about planting trees in the spring. But, just like planning your summer garden in the dead of winter, fall is the time to place your seedling order to ensure you will have the species you want to plant this coming spring.

Crop Tree Release

Think of crop tree release as crown thinning or thinning from above. This practice focuses efforts on the best trees in the stand. It pays more attention to managing tree canopies.

Drought Information

Landowners can get the latest drought conditions across Missouri (as well as the rest of the US) from the National Drought Monitor site.
