Specialty Reforestation, Inc. is driven by the mission to strike a balance between reforestation and effective herbicide application. Our goal is to reforest idle acres and harvested sites while minimizing the impact of invasive and competing plants and hardwood trees through responsible herbicide use. By partnering with landowners and foresters, we aspire to create thriving environments that benefit desired wildlife, encourage tree growth, and create renewable income sources for landowners.
Reforestation involves careful planning, selection of appropriate tree species, and site preparation to ensure successful establishment.
Specialty Reforestation, Inc. specializes in the process of selecting, planting, and establishing pine trees in areas where pine trees or hardwoods have been harvested or on sites with acres that are not being utilized, also known as idle acres.
Site preparation is an important aspect of cultivating successful pine tree seedlings. Seedlings require adequate sunlight and nutrients to become established. Appropriate herbicide application better ensures healthy and maturing seedlings by controlling competing vegetation such as hardwoods, muscadine and green briar vines, and Chinese privet, one of the worst invasive plants in the South.
