2022 Lowcountry Landowner Association - Niederhof Seed Orchard

The Lowcountry Landowner Association was formed in 2018 to serve Colleton, Beaufort, Hampton and Jasper Counties in the field of forestry. The 2022 meeting at Niederhof Forestry Center in Tillman, brought together private landowners to learn about the S.C. Forestry Commission's seed orchard work. Subjects including the grafting of pine trees to produce superior seed, and how they gather the pine cones each year in order to extract a crop of seed to sell to anyone planting pine trees. They conduct test plots of planted pines all across this large tract of land, and evaluate which methods work the best. The subject of flex planting in a pine plantation, and pine straw raking were also covered.
