Turning Profit into Reforestation: Delaware Wild Lands’ Atlantic White Cedar Restoration

A Delaware Wild Lands Project is turning one of the largest privately owned forest lands in Delaware, the Great Cypress Swamp, into a profitable and ecologically beneficial sustainably harvested forest. To date profits have been used to reforest 88 acres of the swamp with natural Bald Cedar and Atlantic White Cedar, once key features of the swamp but now rare. This project has shown the immense potential of sustainable forestry. Using selective harvest practices, the project managers have successfully demonstrated how profits can be put towards further restoration and reforestation activities.  http://www.delawarewildlands.org
