HISTORY Tree Farmers are forest landowners who have been recognized as good stewards of their property. They have had to meet certain requirements of good forest management. They have had to demonstrate a dedication to the wise use of natural resources on their land. Certified Tree Farmers qualify to display the familiar green and white, diamond-shaped Tree Farm sign signifying that they are a part of the nationwide Tree Farm system. The sign is presented by the Arkansas Tree Farm Committee to forest owners who have been certified by one of their volunteer inspecting foresters.
