I saw a lot of the original trees they planted. Heck we even had air soft wars in some of them lol. I think they looked closer than 10’ but maybe not. The rows were probably 10’ apart but the trees within the rows seemed closer than that. I don’t know I really wasn’t paying attention to it. I was trying to not get pelted lol. I can get more info from my buddy on the varieties and spacing. He will know. I know they work closely with the governing agency that oversees all they. They use the property their for a lot of experiments as far as habitat goes.
