The Huron-Manistee National Forest in Michigan comprises almost one million acres across the lower peninsula of Michigan where jack pines provide the primary nesting habitat for the Kirtland's warbler.

The Huron-Manistee National Forest in Michigan, a primary nesting habitat for Kirtland's warbler birds, is suffering from the effects of modern fire suppression techniques which have prevented the removal of older trees and the release of seeds from pine cones that spur the growth of young forest.

The tree planting projects for 2008 include: * Huron-Manistee National Forest, Michigan - 445,000 trees, to be planted in May * Flathead National Forest, Montana - 160,000 trees, planted late May/early June * Deschutes National Forest, Oregon - 160,000 trees, planted in April * Forests in Southeastern Manitoba, Canada - 100,000 trees, planted in April * Plumas National Forest, California - 85,000 trees, planted in May * Black Forest/ Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany - 50,000 trees, planted this fall Since the effort was launched in 2006, 2 million trees have been planted across Alabama, California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Canada and Scotland.

In addition to Plumas National Forest, the tree planting projects for 2008 include: * Huron-Manistee National Forest, Michigan - 445,000 trees, to be planted in May * Flathead National Forest, Montana - 160,000 trees, planted late May/early June * Deschutes National Forest, Oregon - 160,000 trees, planted in April * Forests in Southeastern Manitoba, Canada - 100,000 trees, planted mid-April * Black Forest/ Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany - 50,000 trees, planted this fall Since the effort was launched in 2006, 2 million trees have been planted across Alabama, California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Canada and Scotland.

Smith Barney clients' overwhelming response to this campaign has driven the number of trees to be planted beyond the 100,000 mark, enabling the fortification of three national forests: The Huron-Manistee National Forest in Michigan; the Ocala National Forest in Florida; the Sequoia National Forest in California and the "re-greening" of Katrina-impacted communities.
