Reforestation is a natural process, occurring as a result
of land clearing.  After forest fires or other natural disasters, nature has a way of regenerating itself.  

With proper management, timber harvesting and
artificial replanting can benefit the environment,
while at the same time they provide a cash crop for
the owner of the land.

Over 80 percent of the land tracts harvested by Seaboard Timber are artificially replanted--reforested.

A replanted stand of pine can be thinned in
approximately 15 years.  For maximum growth, the thinning process tries to achieve 108 trees per acre 
as soon as possible. 

Reforestation assures a future income to
the landowner and to future generations.
