Thinning is removing selected trees from a stand to allow others to
continue growing. Ordinarily, a woodland manager uses a thinning
system that encourages the remaining trees to grow in a manner
consistent with the manager’s objectives for those trees.
Woodland owners need site classification information for the same reasons as other owners, managers, and officials. Fortunately, it is available for most areas.
