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 371 acres in the winter of 2026-2027. Tree planting activities will occur on the
Withlacoochee Quail Farm, Holton Creek, Mattair Springs, and Woods Ferry Tracts in
Suwannee 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.
