A Testament to Success
The Schappe Family's relationship with Bell's MAP since 1966 highlights the program's effectiveness in managing their family tree farm across generations.
“Our family tree farm is focused on its third generation. We have had help managing the farm since 1966 using the MAP program. We have relied on the foresters at Bell to advise and assist us. Our timber harvests have been timely and sympathetic to our aesthetic needs and the health of our tree crop. We enjoy working with our land and Bell, and look forward to the future and meeting our family goals.”
