Reforestation

BAKER LAND & TIMBER MANAGEMENT, INC.

Trees are a crop with a longer rotation period than farm row crops. The intentional, or natural, replacement of trees is reforestation. Land that has been intentionally replanted for future forests can yield many benefits to the community other than trees. Young trees are more efficient in converting carbon dioxide to oxygen and store the carbon in the wood. They also return nutrients to the soil through leaf litter and twig drops. These reforested areas provide wildlife habitat.
