Restoring Atlantic White-Cedar Swamps: Techniques for Propogation and Establishment

There has been much recent interest in restoring white-cedar swamps along the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Awareness of the ecological role of wetlands in keeping our environment healthier has combined with demand for cedar products to produce a drive to develop better methods to propagate and establish young cedars. This paper discusses unique features of cedar swamp ecosystems, natural regeneration methods, protection from deer, the use of herbicides, and nursery propagation and cedar swamp restoration by planting seedlings or rooted cuttings. Current research is noted, with references. Tree Planters' Notes 46(3):78-85; 1995.
