V-BLADE TREE PLANTING SERVICES

The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) owns and manages approximately 162,000 acres of forestland in North-Central Florida for the protection of floodplains and their associated habitats. The District’s Land Management Program directs land management staff to manage and, if necessary, restore lands titled to the Governing Board. Reforestation of pine lands with healthy, vigorous seedlings is conducive to accomplishing this goal.
The District is requesting bids to V-blade plant containerized longleaf pine seedlings on approximately 250 acres in the winter of 2025-2026. Tree planting activities will occur on the Adams, Falling Creek Falls, and Jerry Branch Tracts in Lafayette, Columbia, and Hamilton counties. The purpose of planting is to reforest areas with site appropriate pine trees to help meet District Land Management Plan (DLMP) objectives.
