The Buncombe Hollow Tree Farm, established in 1954 and located in Salem, OR, has received high honors from the Tree Farm community. The Wheaton family became the Tree Farmers of the Year in 1998, the State Tree Farmers of 2000, and the Regional Tree Farmers in 2001. |
The Pierce's puchased 160 acres of mixed hardwoods/aspen mix in 1989 in Michigan. It included 20 acres of barren sand and ferns, as well as a small stream running through
it. After working with a Michigan State Forester they had their Tree Farm certified by the American Tree Farm System. The Pierce's have now created a Tree Farm with tens of thousands of aspen trees, with many maple, beech and other trees, and shrubs sprouting as well.
Needless to say, it has become a haven for wildlife! The pines have provided excellent shelter, and converted the 20 sandy acres into a productive forest. Overall, the Pierces say it has been a most rewarding experience, and has turned into a labor of love. |
