Long leaf pine trees, once growing all over the east Texas area, were logged out over about a 100 years of logging. It takes 100 to 150 years for this tree to fully mature. They grow about 300 years. Here at Sabine River Homestead we have dedicated several acres to replanting long leaf pine trees to help reestablish them in this area. We are working with the Texas State Forest Service and the federal agency Natural Resource Conservation Service to help with the ecosystems of East Texas by participating in the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program. If you would like to help, we need a small amount of money, tools and labor to get the planting done in the coming months of November and December of 2010 and January 2011, as well as maintaining the trees after planting.
