Forest Management

Land use in northern Florida is undergoing significant change as many agricultural enterprises are shifting to establishment of forest tree plantations on old agricultural fields and pastures.  These changes are occurring on top of an already extensive forested land base.  For example, Suwannee and Hamilton Counties are 64% forested, with standing timber values approaching $330 million and annual timber harvests worth $38 million in 1996.  As landowners plan these conversions they raise questions about which tree species to plant, appropriate site preparation methods for old agricultural sites, and treatments such as fertilization and herbicides.
