Missouri to join American Tree Farm System

Missouri will become the 25th state in the American Tree Farm System to boost its $60 million annual forest production. The program certifies privately owned woodlands for continuous production and fire, insect, and disease protection, with landowners named tree farmers. Missouri officially launched the program September 9 near Eminence, designating Pioneer Forest as Tree Farm Number One and expanding to other properties in Shannon, Ozark, and surrounding counties.
