CREATING A SILVICULTURE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Every woodland is unique—its location, soil, tree species, and surrounding landscape all shape how it grows and changes over time. To keep your forest healthy and thriving for the long term, it’s important to understand its natural functions and make informed decisions about how to manage it. With a little creativity and the right information, you can choose management approaches that meet your goals while keeping your woods productive and resilient.
Join us to learn the basics of silviculture—how to assess tree health and use simple data on tree vigor and quality to create a step-by-step plan for improving your woodland.
