About the Hardwood
Forestry Fund
Purpose
The purpose of the Hardwood Forestry Fund is to promote hardwood timber growth,
management, education and environmentally sound uses of our forest resources.
Forestry Projects
Our projects are implemented in cooperation with local, state, and federal forestry
departments. The forest areas are developed with support of the Hardwood Forestry Fund,
but the land is not owned by the Fund. Projects are on public land, or on land owned by
non-profit organizations such as the Boy Scouts and the Wildlife Prairie Park.
The Fund and its members support
these projects by contributing money for plantings and by working with forestry officials
to develop high quality timber stands, especially when existing public programs and
budgets are insufficient to create or improve the forests. Forest management plans are
written for most projects, the goals of which are to create multiple use forests including
timber for industry and consumers, habitat creation for wildlife and scenic areas for
recreational use.
Planting Festivals
Our Fund and its members also help sponsor public planting festivals which are fun,
educational and help raise public awareness of our forests. People learn how to enhance
their environment, and the festivals provide an opportunity for individuals, community
groups and businesses of all sizes and types to work together in a positive and
constructive manner.
Planting and Research Projects
Create Banner Years The Hardwood Forestry Fund is in an exciting period of activity. Since
beginning in 1990, our project activity has grown while financial support from our
contributors has risen. Recent project achievements are marked by their diversity and
scope. During the past two years, our project activity has increased, and includes twelve
new plantings in five different states and one foreign country, as well as, four research
projects taking place in Oregon, Indiana, New York and Tennessee. The Fund has planted
more than 360,000 seedlings through the years.
