Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets.
To plant a pine, one need only a shovel.

- Aldo Leopold

Reforestation efforts are under threat in Wisconsin and throughout the United States.

From extreme weather to increasing deer and small animal browse, forests owned by private landowners or managed by public agencies and non-profit organizations have experienced unprecedented declines in forest regeneration success. According to numerous experts in the field, deer browse has emerged as one of the leading issues now facing tree survival.

Despite the initial cost of tree shelters, many landowners are realizing that without some protection for their trees, all their site preparation, time spent planting, and weed control measures may end up in failure. Tree and shrub planting efforts increasingly demand active landowner management.

Conservation Success: Seeing is Believing
Southwest Badger RC&D uses what we sell. Southwest Badger intern, Tracy, is standing in a forestry reforestation project in Iowa County. After just two months, some of the walnut seedlings have already emerged through the top of the 5-foot Tree Pro Miracle Tube tree shelters. A total of 10,000 Tree Pro Miracle Tubes were installed by the landowner on this private property near Mineral Point, Wisconsin.
