Burntridge Tree Farm

2004 Ohio Tree Farm of the Year
	We are proud to be recognized by the Ohio Tree Farm committee as the 2004 Ohio tree farm of the year. The American Tree Farm System is the oldest woodland owners group in existence today.
	"Wood is a crop. Forestry is Tree Farming." — Gifford Pinchot, First chief of the USDA Forest Service.
About Burntridge, our family owned forest………What started out as a place to use for recreation has evolved into an active tree farm. It is used for recreation, wildlife, timber production, water quality and a backdrop for education. Please contact me if you have questions or comments regarding any aspect of the forest that I may be able to help you with. We may also be able to direct you toward the many natural resource professionals in the Community.

No Cash / No Conservation
Family forest owners stand on the front lines of conservation in Ohio. Financial success is the only way for them to continue the conservation measures taking place on 92% of Ohio forests. Failure of these family farms will mean the continued fragmentation and destruction of critical wildlife habitat. Want to learn more? Join us for conservation education on a family owned Ohio tree farm and forest.

My son and I plant a tree around 1995 Forest conservation is hard work.	Adam Bump, Biologist, stands on a Tulip Tree stump that is re-sprouting just 1 year after harvest. This form of natural re-generation is vital to Ohio hardwood forests.	Here I am talking to a group of second graders about trees and how they are grown, harvested, utilized, and then how it all starts over again. The only way to kill a hardwood forest is to pave it with concrete after you cut it down.
