Return to Tree Planting

Bottomland Reforestation (IL)

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Keith Gregory City: Carbondale, IL
I have a five acre parcel (mostly bottom ground) that most of the trees were destroyed during the May 8 storm. I would like to replant. Could you recomend an inexpensive source of free or low cost trees.

Greetings Keith: I would encourage you to contact your local IL Dept. of Natural Resources (IL-DNR) district forester to determine your eligibility for no-cost seedlings through the IL-DNR state nursery system. IL-DNR District Forestry Offices: http://dnr.state.il.us/conservation/forestry/DISTFRSTMAP.pdf Best of luck!
