Reforestation & Genetics
Over 18 million new trees are being hand-planted in Idaho every year.
That's 18 trees for every man, woman, and child in the state. And Mother
Nature seeds millions more. Replanting or ensuring natural reseeding assures
that every acre harvested will grow back for posterity.
Planting Improved Varieties of Trees
Areas that are harvested or damaged by fire, insects, and disease often
are replanted with seedlings genetically more tolerant to drought, more
resistant to disease, and faster growing.
