Summary

Description SRS is surrounded by a working pine plantation, planted with long leaf, loblolly and slash pines. The U.S. Forest Service was asked to plant trees on the thousands of acres that farmers had used for generations to plant their crops. When the planting process began in 1953, it was the largest mechanized planting program in the United States, with 400,000 trees planted per day during the first two years. The 100 millionth pine seedling was planted in 1968 and roughly one million seedlings have been planted every year since.
