|
| | LDAF Superior Loblolly Pine seedlings are from our first generation seed orchards. These seed orchards have been tested for superior growth and disease resistance. The growth rates on these seedlings average about 17% increase in growth rates from wild or woods run seedlings. |
|
|
| | LDAF grows as many as 30 different species of tree seedlings. A list of our current inventory is posted on our Web page. |
|
|
| | LDAF has three seedling nurseries located across the state, which grows tree seedlings for sale to Louisiana landowners. |
|
|
| | LDAF has professional foresters all over the state that can come to your place and help you choose which species is best suited for your property and your desired use. The forester can also help you with several cost sharing programs available to help defray the cost of planting seedlings for timber production, wildlife habitat enhancement and even for recreational use. Or, you could contact a local consulting forester to inspect your land and make recommendations. |
|
|
| | A state cost share program called the Forest Productivity Program will pay up to 50% of the costs for establishing a stand of timber, either pine or hardwood, depending on the site. One of the federal programs is the Wetland Reserve Program. It will also pay up to 50% of the costs to re-establish a wetland to establish or improve wildlife habitat. There are several other federal programs as well. |
