Planting Trees in Bulk // Reforesting with White Pine

#forestry #replanting #timber

A contracted work crew from Guatemala preps and plants white pines in an area that was harvested two years ago. This crew plants around 40,000 trees per 8 hour work day, ~4,000 trees per person. Their planting bag will hold 400 trees and using a dibble, shallow slits in the earth are made and each tree placed a specified distance away from each other according to the species planted.

This forest will fully mature in about 80 years before it will be thinned, harvested, or preserved.
