Creator:: Bennett, Max, 1963-, Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, Main, Marty L., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Forest landowners are interested in practicing alternative silviculture methods on their property without having to clearcut. This publication describes a case study on management of a mixed conifer and hardwood forest in southwest Oregon. The landowners’ management philosophy is to promote mature forest conditions while maintaining multiple species and age...

Creator:: Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, Bennett, Max, 1963-, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: This publication provides an overview of how various silvicultural treatments affect fuel and fire behavior, and how to create fire-resistant forests. In properly treated, fire-resistant forests, fire intensity is reduced and overstory trees are more likely survive than in untreated forests. Fire-resistant forests are not “fireproof” – under the right...

Abstract:: Forest landowners are interested in practicing alternative silviculture methods on their property without having to clearcut. This publication describes a case study on Individual Tree Selection (ITS) in a mixed conifer forest in Northeast Oregon. ITS is of interest because it provides a continuous forest canopy; potentially reduces reforestation costs;...

Creator:: Bennett, Max, 1963-, Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Thinning to reduce hazardous fuels often generates large amounts of woody residues, such as small-diameter logs, tree tops, and branches. This publication discusses several options for economically and effectively using and disposing of woody material.

Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Elefritz, Mark, Atkinson, Mary, Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: In some forest situations, seedlings readily spring up from seeds produced by nearby trees, reducing (or even eliminating) the need to plant trees. Often, though, conditions aren’t right for this natural regeneration to happen quickly, or with the desired kinds of trees. Therefore, planting tree seedlings by hand usually is...
