Reforestation in Alabama
The decisions you make in year one set the value of every harvest for the next 25 years. We help landowners get year one right. Site prep, species selection, seedling sourcing, planting oversight, and first-year survival checks for Alabama landowners replanting after harvest or establishing new pine stands.
Southeast Forestlands is an approved USDA Technical Service Provider. We assist eligible landowners with forest management planning and conservation practices that may support participation in USDA programs, when applicable.
A reforestation plan that sets up the next thinning
The first thinning is the first big payday for a new pine stand. Decisions made in the first 12 months — site prep, spacing, seedling choice, herbicide release — quietly decide what that thinning will be worth 12–15 years out.
What we coordinate
- Site prep — mechanical, burn, herbicide, or combination
- Loblolly, longleaf, or shortleaf seedling selection and sourcing
- Machine and hand planting crews
- First-year competition release planning
- Cost-share program coordination (EQIP, CSP, AFC)
Why Hire a Consulting Forester?
