In November of 2010 Pine Creek Sporting Club will be embarking on a remarkable forestation project to benefit the common area quail fields shared by the members. There will be 92,000 Longleaf Pines planted spanning 300 acres - that's 305 trees per acre!

Longleaf Pines (Pinus palustris) are native to central Florida. According to the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, longleaf pines once covered 30-60 million acres of the southeastern United States Coastal Plain. Longleaf pines were often utilized for sailing ship masts, and depleted throughout 200 years of logging and land clearing.

This forestation project is not only good for the earth and land value, it will provide a challenging and exciting experience for shooters in the field. When the Pines are first planed they will grow 2 feet for the first two years and then grow 3-4 feet every year after that. This forestation initiative is a prime example of Pine Creek's stewardship of the land.
