Comments on RPM Plants
Bert A. Spaeth, NYSERDA / Utility Manager
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.
"Siemens Building Technologies is very proactive in promoting energy efficiency, energy cost reduction and environmental improvements using Biomass for Biofuels
Utilizing our land and woodlands to produce renewable fuels will keep energy dollars in states and more importantly, create new cash crops for landowners and employment for our rural communities. RPM Ecosystems LLC is an important resource for re-establishing native hardwood forests and to insure the possibility of a sustainable supply of wood for Biomass."
Judy Steckler, Director
The Land Trust for the Mississippi Coastal Plain
"Seeing the restoration to maturity of "trees in our lifetime" is the hope that RPM plants bring to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We would replant for our children, but now we will be able to see our heritage and native trees restore our urban forests as well as our coastal habitats re-established in our lifetime."
Dan Dey, Research Forester
USDA Forest Service
"Efforts to restore the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley by direct seeding and planting bare root seedlings have met with dismal results despite the spending of untold federal and state conservation dollars and years. The character of the RPM root system promotes high survival and rapid growth
RPM seedlings are valuable products for managers trying to re-establish ecosystems in harsh environments, or in highly altered, or degraded ecosystems."
Dr. Gene Garret, Director of the Center for Agroforestry
University of Missouri
"RPM technology has the potential to revolutionize restoration and conservation efforts. Rarely is a professional so fortunate to have had the opportunity to be directly in helping to develop or evaluate new technology as important as the Root Production Method (RPM. To get an oak to produce the number of acorns within 3-4 years, that we have seen in oaks grown using RPM---that is almost magical."
Kenneth Dalrymple, Wildlife Biologist
"I wouldn't plant anything else but RPM trees. The thing I like best is we can plant them in stressful areas like wetlands. I haven't had any success with bare root seedlings in wetland areas."
