Hello Everyone!
So to start off a good friend of mine that I have known for 25+ years killed himself this past summer. The last place him and his sister where together was the trail of cedars in Montana. The Western Red Cedar is his sister's favorite tree. In fact, her son that's due spring of 2018 she is giving the middle name of Cedar in memory of her brother. I was inspired to do a forest planting with a small "path" running through, I tossed around the idea of buying seedlings instead of growing them from seed for time's sake. However, I think it would mean more to have them grown and started by me.
Also, I just can't afford to buy the number of trees I would like for the setting. I might just save up to get them, in the long run, it will take less time that way than seeds. I understand some of the basics of forest planting and that Cedar might not be a great choice, also seedlings are not a great way to create them either, But regardless I am going to do it anyway. (It can grow with her son)
My questions here today is if anyone has some advice about forest planting. I already have the seeds and have been properly prepped and ready for planting so the actual forest construction is still a long way off yet.
Thank you all For any advice!
