Afforestation is the process of establishing a forest where there wasn't one. As part of our mission to support biodiverse ecosystems, we work with gov agencies and conservation groups to rebuild forest on unproductive ag lands through afforestation. Seeing wildlife while we work is a bonus!

May 16th, Illinois experienced a dust storm. Drought, the windiest time of year and bare farm land contributed. For us, this event highlights the importance of sustainable practices including tree windbreaks, prairie strips, and cover cropping. Let’s remember lessons we learned from the Dust Bowl.

This spring, we planted 16,000 trees at one site! The client converted row crop acres to a mixture of oak, persimmon, chestnut, pear, and crabapple with the goal of attracting and feeding trophy whitetail deer. The groundcover alternates between grassy bedding areas and food plots for grazing.

Back in May, our team planted 100,000 chestnut seeds at our nursery. In November, the trees will be dug and prepared for nursery customers. All of our chestnuts are from genetic lines that provide high quality chestnuts with large yields. Perfect for culinary use, silvopasture, and whitetail deer!

We introduce you to our client engagement coordinator, Carolyn Pettit. She's the first person people meet when contacting Canopy. She connects people with the resources they need to make their agroforestry dreams come true. She loves her job, she gets to talk to people all day about trees.

Windbreaks are a great addition to any property. They help protect land from events like drought, water erosion, pesticide drift, and wind. Fast growing species like willow and poplar provide protection within 3-5 years. Not to mention the beauty of trees, pollinator habitat and bird watching!
