A Guide to Tree Planting

Nurseries provide nearly 1.5 billion trees for planting in the United States each year. This represents over six trees annually propagated for every U.S. citizen. The United States Forest Service reports that nearly 3 million acres are forested with those billion and a half baby seedlings.

I now want to break down planting trees in manageable bits for you. I will provide answers to the following questions with links for further information:

• Why and Where Should You Plant Trees?
