Being an avid bowhunter, Don Higgins takes great satisfaction in creating quality habitat. Our own properties have been planted and managed with this in mind for many years. |

At
Higgins Tree Farm, we are serious about the work we
do planting seedlings and potted trees on CRP, WRP
and other conservation projects. We realize that we
are doing more than planting trees. We are creating
future woodlands and wildlife habitat that will
benefit the landowner as well as future generations
for many years to come. Many of these landowners are
hunters while others are farmers or investors
looking to make a wise financial decision for their
future. We understand and appreciate both of these
approaches and never lose sight of the landowners
perspective as we complete a tree planting project.
We have been in your shoes and can offer sound
advice and guidance to help you meet the goals you
have set for your tree planting project. We
have CRP tree plantings on our own farm that were
planted as both a financial benefit and as a way to
improve the wildlife habitat. Many years of
experience have taught us valuable lessons that we
bring with us to each job. When you hire us to plant
your tree project you get the benefits of our years
of experience. We strive to complete each planting
to the satisfaction of the landowner. After all, the
landowner is the one who has to live with the
results long after we leave. If you are planning a
tree planting project, take the time to discuss it
with us before you just hire it out to the lowest
bidder. While we may or may not be the lowest bidder
on your tree planting project, we are sure to be the
planting contractor that listens to you and your
desires.

If your primary objective is to improve the wildlife habitat on your land for hunting purposes, you definitely want to talk with Don Higgins about your project. As an avid bowhunter for trophy whitetail bucks and freelance outdoor writer, Don is well respected in the hunting community. He has had numerous articles published in major hunting magazines such as North American Whitetail, Bowhunter, Petersens Bowhunting, Whitetail Journal, Buckmasters, Outdoor Life and others. Many of these articles dealt with habitat improvement. While some contractors will have numerous crews of “tree planters” scattered over a wide area doing the actual work, Don takes part in every tree planting project that Higgins Tree Farm does and will offer advice on how to improve the hunting on your property as if it were his own. If you are going to hire a contractor to plant your tree project shouldn’t it be someone that is experienced and is willing to help you achieve your goals? |

My tree planting was approved
with no problems. I appreciate the
time you took to plan ahead on the
placement of certain species to
improve the deer hunting on my
property in future years.

Don,
I just wanted to drop
you a note and tell you
how much I appreciate
your efforts in
completing the tree
plantings on my farm. As
an avid conservationist
and landowner your
input on species and
your attention to detail
have not gone unnoticed.
Also, the spruce
trees which I purchased
from you and planted
around my pond are doing
great! Thanks!

Thanks for working with
me on my CRP tree
planting. I was
impressed with the way
you
handled everything for
me while I was busy
farming. I will
certainly call you if I
ever decide
to sign up more of my
farm with the CRP tree
program.
