A Forest for the Trees

As late winter’s warming temps tease, and peeking bud tips hint at another spring’s promise, it’s a good time to make preparations and plans to plant trees for our future north woods forests.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  1. Goal 15: Life on Land – Planting trees contributes to the preservation and restoration of forests, which is essential for maintaining biodiversity and combating climate change.
  2. Goal 13: Climate Action – Trees play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.
  3. Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – Planting trees in urban areas improves air quality, provides shade, and enhances the overall livability of cities.

Tactics for Tree Planting

  • Choose the right tree species for your specific location and soil conditions to ensure optimal growth and survival.
  • Prepare the planting site by removing any weeds or grass and loosening the soil to promote root development.
  • Handle tree seedlings with care, avoiding damage to the roots or stems.
  • Plant the trees at the correct depth, making sure the root collar is level with or slightly above the soil surface.
  • Water the newly planted trees regularly, especially during dry periods, to help establish their root systems.
