I have 10 acres of Christmas trees that i am not going to harvest. Can I convert these acres to forestland?
A landowner may make an application for designated forestland on proprerty that may be under another special assessment. Christmas tree plantings are often planted at high densities and will likely meet the minimum stocking requirements. However, field confirmation is required. Some tree species planted for Christmas trees may not be suitable for timber production and would therefore not meet stocking requirements. Become familiar with suitable reforestation tree species in your area, or contact the local ODF stewardship forester for more information.
