The Conservation District and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offer technical advice and assistance on tree planting and forest management. The Michigan NRCS Forestry site has many valuable resources on species selection, spacing and forest maintenance, including several very good MSU-Extension bulletins.
The VBCD has an Annual Tree & Shrub Seedling Selection every spring, which is offers a great variety of species at a very affordable price. Seedling catalogs are available early spring and pre-orders are taken up to a week before the sale in April. Pre-orders are encouraged to ensure your selection is available. Tree and shrub seedling selection varieties may vary year to year.
Before logging or selling your timber we suggest you talk to a professional forester and consider a Forest Management Plan to ensure the continuation of a healthy forest and woodlot.
