From the Introduction: - - - This Bulletin begins by examining the range of objectives and site types where the planting of native tree species can be appropriate in our productive landscapes. The second chapter discusses practical options for establishing native trees and for enhancing existing areas of native vegetation and the third is on matching species to site. A table lists the major native conifer and hardwood timber species, collating information from ecological requirements to wood properties and planting potential. The next two sections provide guidelines for selection of planting stock and general information on planting techniques. Part 7 focuses on options for planting open sites, covering planting pattern, use of nurse crops and high-density versus low-density planting. Finally, we present some planting scenarios.
