At ArborGen, we understand that every decision you make for your land impacts not just today, but decades into the future. With evolving markets, changing climate conditions, and ever-expanding choices in genetics, stock types, seedling spacing, and planting methods, landowners face more complexity than ever before.
That’s where ArborGen’s Reforestation Advisors (RAs) come in.
Expertise That Goes Beyond Planting
Our RAs are experienced foresters who bring specialized training in silviculture, forest genetics, and long-term management strategies. Many hold advanced degrees and, as tree farmers themselves, they know firsthand the challenges and opportunities landowners face. Their role is to listen first, learning your goals and aspirations, then craft a plan that sets your forest up for success from day one.

Tailored Solutions for Every Acre
No two properties are alike, and no two landowners share the exact same vision. That’s why our RAs regularly visit client sites to understand the unique conditions and objectives at play. Whether the goal is maximizing sawtimber potential, building resiliency against pests and weather, or creating a flexible plan for multiple revenue streams, our RAs provide expert guidance every step of the way.
From selecting the right genetics to match local timber markets, to recommending planting density that supports long-term growth, to ensuring proper establishment for strong survival, our advisors deliver solutions that maximize value and minimize risk.
Confidence in Your Investment
Reforestation is a generational decision. By partnering with ArborGen’s RAs, you gain more than seedlings. You gain a trusted advisor who helps weigh costs, benefits, and long-term outcomes. With the right plan in place, you can move forward confidently, knowing your investment is rooted in proven science and expert guidance.
At ArborGen, our promise is simple: we’re beside you every step of the way, from planning to planting, and beyond.
