Summer Planting on Strip Mines Successful

Strip mining for coal need not become a problem if appropriate action is taken to rehabilitate the site before, during, and immediately following the mining operation. One kind of action may be soil preparation at the immediate site where trees are to be planted. Further benefit would accrue by being able to extend the planting season into the summer. This study was designed to investigate minisite preparation for establishing tree seedlings with summer plantings on sites that may otherwise be unfavorable for plant growth.
