After a review of the area to be planted to assess soils, drainage, and vegetative competition, consultation is offered regarding choices in site preparation, seedling species and planting density. If applicable, a reforestation plan accompanied by a cost share funding application will be made to the appropriate agency. Site preparation contractors will be interviewed, retained, and supervised to ensure quality work in a timely manner. Tree planters will be retained and supervised to ensure tree planting is done in accordance with professional industry standards for survival and promotion of growth.
