Tony Glover, Extension coordinator in Cullman County who is involved in the Canopy by Design project, notes that the ultimate goal of the project is to provide a model of volunteer engagement and proper tree selection and planting. Proper tree planting is extremely important in any tree restoration effort, says Glover. With that in mind, he developed a one-page Tree Selection, Planting and Care guide that provides information on how to best plant trees. This guide is available at www.aces.edu. “I wanted to make sure people had good information to give them the best chance of success when replanting trees in their landscape,” he said. “The healthiest plant in the world will struggle if it is not planted correctly, properly watered and maintained after planting.” “Many of the trees lost in our community were large, old trees that were really the wrong plant for the location in which they were growing,” he adds. “This tragic event gives us an opportunity to make wiser choices for the generations yet born who will inherit the tree canopy we plant today.” On another tree note, Auburn’s Toomer’s oaks that were poisoned earlier this year are still alive but their long-term chance of survival is still unknown. While Auburn University officials are looking at replacement options should the trees not survive, they have given the go-ahead for the trees to be rolled during this fall’s football season.

October Wildlife Management Tips Continue to prepare and plant winter food plots for wildlife. Winter grasses like wheat and oats will provide an attractive food source for deer and other game during the cold months ahead. Disk or till the plots and remove weeds and debris. Sow seeds and cover lightly. Spread fertilizer over the top at the recommended rates. Don’t forget clover. Add a little to your plots and you’ll create a buffet for wildlife that will last until late spring. Let it seed out in spring and then mow it. Much of it will come back later. Mow or disk lanes in Conservation Reserve Program land, corn fields and under power lines to provide more hunting opportunities. Deer love narrow open spaces to walk where thick cover is just a hop away. By mowing narrow lanes, deer feel safe when using them as trails and will soon begin using them as travel corridors.
