The Fastest Growing Trees in the Northeast
The Fastest Growing Trees in the Northeast

Select poplars, willows, and empress trees can grow 10 to 20 feet in a single year - even in cold climates. These trees are the best tools we have for cleaning up pollution, sequestering carbon, cooling the planet, increasing biodiversity, decreasing fossil fuel use, and limiting unsustainable timber imports from across the globe - oftentimes all at once. Strategically planted and carefully managed, they can be powerful tools for any small grower.

Christmas Tree Farms & Climate Change: A Permaculture Perspective
Christmas Tree Farms & Climate Change: A Permaculture Perspective

Our Christmas tree agroforestry system is designed to mimic natural forest succession, with shade tolerant fir and spruce growing up to replace a deciduous overstory - except here, that succession will be kept in check through coppicing. In this system, three tiers of income streams are achievable on a single piece of land, with much higher potential for supporting native biodiversity in the process.
