care of your seedlings

Seedlings need to be kept moist and cool. The trees should be planted as soon as possible. Do not leave the seedlings in a car trunk or inside a hot car. Car trunks have little ventilation and get very warm. The most important thing to remember when planting trees is to make sure the roots do not dry out during storage and when planting. Keep them in a bag or pail when planting by hand. If machine planting, keep the roots covered. Wet burlap works well for this. 

containerized seedlings

These seedlings are grown in containers in greenhouses and moved outside to shade houses to become acclimated to outdoor conditions. The most important thing to remember is to make sure that the top of the root plug is covered by approximately 1/2” of native soil. 

bare root seedlings

Bare root stock should be planted at the same depth at which they were grown in the nursery, with plenty of room for the roots. Partially fill the hole, firming the soil around the lower roots. Shovel in the remaining soil. It should be firmly but not tightly packed. Construct a water-holding basin around the tree. Give the tree plenty of water.

assisted tree range expansion project

The Assisted Tree Range Expansion Project (ATREP) is a community science project focused on supporting the resilience of Northern Lower Michigan's forests by planting tree species that are projected to be better adapted to our future climate.
