Nature's Miraculous Comeback: Clearcut Transforms into Vibrant Wildlife Habitat

1 year ago

This location was cleared for an industrial lot. We take a tour of this clearcut to show how it transformed itself into a vibrant and diverse young forest wildlife habitat.
One thing I forgot to mention is that this result was possible because this location has almost no deer and no invasive plants.
Clearcutting stimulates regrowth right away. Trees and shrubs need full sun, especially oaks. "Select" harvesting AKA high-grading takes timber without stimulating regrowth, so the timber and wildlife habitat goes downhill.
Hunting land management should always include timber management. Your timber management should always be done using sustainable timber management tactics. Sustainable timber management must include regeneration work.

If you would like to jump on a call to discuss your property and how I may be able to help you improve timber and wildlife habitat, give me a call at 814-360-4510
