To conserve, enhance and protect Oklahoma's forests and natural resources for present and future generations.
The "Trees for Oklahoma Pine Seedling Program" seeks to promote pine reforestation across southeastern Oklahoma by targeting recently harvested or converted forest lands in nine specific counties. It aims to assist private landowners in planting up to one million pine seedlings annually, offering these seedlings for free. These seedlings are sourced from the State Forest Regeneration Center, boasting genetic improvements from the Forest Tree Improvement Center in Idabel, Oklahoma. The program primarily supports non-industrial private forest landowners in this endeavor, emphasizing environmental restoration and sustainable forestry practices.
