Timber harvesting is a common activity on many small woodland
properties. Whether a harvest is large or small, landowners
must carefully evaluate their overall goals and objectives before
beginning. A well-conducted harvest will help realize those
goals, but a poor job may lead to disappointing results that have to
be...
So you’d like to plant some trees! As the saying goes, “The best
time to plant a tree was 30 years ago—the next best time is now.” This publication gets you started on the right track and answers some common reforestation questions.
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...
Successful reforestation of your harvested timberland is more than just
planting a few trees and hoping they will grow. To ensure success,
you first must answer several key questions:
• What species should I plant?
• What kind of seedlings should I select?
• How can I tell whether their...
Using a chain saw safely and effectively promotes efficiency in
clearing brush, cutting firewood, harvesting, and any other woodland
activity requiring the use of a chain saw. However, chain
saws are dangerous! Using them requires a satisfactory level of physical
conditioning and adequate skill in using and maintaining a saw.
Nursery workers, foresters, landowners, and tree
planters often overlook the need for care in handling
seedlings between lifting and planting. Successful reforestation
depends on maintaining the life support systems of the seedling
while it is removed from its
natural environment; all persons handling the seedling
must share responsibility for its...
Voles, or meadow mice as they’re commonly called, can cause significant economic damage to conifer seedlings on reforestation sites and Christmas tree plantations.
Ignoring or delaying necessary maintenance can lead to damage that is more costly to repair than the original road construction. Good maintenance also helps ensure safety and necessary access, and it enhances the efficiency of vehicle and equipment travel over your property.
This publication covers log loading and transportation, including landing organization, road conditions, equipment, and costs. It also treats special concerns for woodland owners.
Ground-based skidding may cause unacceptable damage to woodland soils when owners make no attempt to minimize the area covered with skid trails. As much as 40 percent of the area may be covered with skid trails during a single entry if you do not plan and mark them in advance.
