In today's web surfing society, people are looking for convenient and reliable sources of information in one easy to find place. For tree and shrub spring planting information, surf over to www.iowatreeplanting.com.

"Iowatreeplanting.com was developed to be the one stop shopping source of information for people who want to plant hundreds of trees on their acreages or one tree in their yard," said John Walkowiak, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources forestry bureau.

"Iowatreeplanting.com promotes the use of native trees and shrubs for conservation and landscaping purposes and has a complete listing of Iowa's native woody plants, along with a complete listing of Iowa public and private nursery sources," Walkowiak said.

Iowatreeplanting.com has tips developed by foresters and biologists on creating wildlife habitat and on protecting Iowa's water quality. "There is even information on how to plant and care for your new trees. Plans are to continue to further develop the web site to add sample landscape and habitat designs that people can use," he said.

"If someone is interested in tree planting this spring, don't wait for warm weather to think about plantings," Walkowiak said. "Most nurseries operate on a first come first served basis and those interested should start planning now and investigate plant availability and prices and www.iowatreeplanting.com is a perfect place to start."
