Every year we prepare to distribute hybrid Poplar cuttings in March. If the ground is not wet, we go to check the trees, cut the branches, and make the cuttings. 

As I spoke with a  local staffer, he said three farmers had already approached him and were interested in getting cuttings. The distribution starts in the Spring. We hope to distribute Poplar cuttings to more local farmers.
