Bottomland Hardwood Reforestation in the Lower Mississippi Valley

摘要

The bulletin assists farmers or other private landowner in reestablishing forests on part of their land. It is most useful if the land is in the Lower Mississippi Valley and the main reason for reforestation is to produce wildlife habitat, either for private enjoyment or as a means of obtaining supplemental income. Several of the non-wildlife related benefits of reforestation are economic, such as the additional income from participating in conservation-related agricultural programs or through selling timber. Some benefits are environmental, such as the improvement in water quality that may result if an area between a field and a waterway is reforested.
