White Pine Silviculture / State of the Forest Report

A big thank you to all the participants who joined us this summer on one or more of our field programs.  My personal favorite was the program on white pine and hardwood silviculture.  See photos below.

The picture above shows some recent wind damage in this mature Eastern white pine stand.  The picture below shows the volume of these trees, many of which are >50 years old.

If you are interested in helping us schedule the next meeting of the Forest Makeover, please visit the following doodle poll site (http://doodle.com/3k66n8euk57p7s2w) and indicate your interest and availability.
