As an alternative to tree planting, Cascade Forestry now offers the option of 'direct seeding' your site(s) in either a broadcast or drilled fashion. We have recently fabricated a no-till seeder with more exacting depth and density controls to insure a greater establishment success and more desirable species distribution, while using less seed. This unit is capable of a wide range of seeding densities by general seed size. We welcome the opportunity to show you the results of some of our direct seeding projects. Please contact us if you wish more information on this method of establishing trees.

Larry Krotz of Washington, Iowa pioneered direct seeding in the upper Midwest.  Larry has found that direct seeding success is as much an art as a science.  Over the years Larry has shared his experiences with many contractors, public resource foresters and scientists to develop successful direct seeding techniques.
