JOPLIN, Mo. â Trees are planted for many reasons, including aesthetics, wildlife habitat, shade, energy conservation, erosion reduction and in remembrance of an event or person.
The Missouri Department of Conservation reminds landowners that when adding trees to your property, planning should come before planting. Before selecting and planting a tree, there are several questions that need to be asked in regards to evaluating the planting site. Without planning, a tree that is not suited for its planting location could develop problems in the future.
The free MDC virtual program âCommunity Forestry: Tree Selection and Tree Plantingâ, will take place from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 11. At this program, MDC Community Forester Jon Skinner will discuss how to choose trees that will be the best fits for your landscaping and aesthetic needs.
