Silviculture
we were ringing plots based on regen
and making operator stay in ribbons
Silviculture
this proved difficult for operator
and we weren’t good at laying it out--
kept making too-small gaps without enough merch trees to make a hitch
harvested
unintended retention
Silviculture
so we used what we had already laid out, these tiny gaps, and said to operator, harvest trees up to a tree length from the ribbon, and try to protect regen therein.
one tree length (55-70’)
Silviculture
this freed operator up to leave trees in the middle of regen where damage would likely occur, and ensure enough merchantable wood came from each gap to make it worthwhile
Silviculture
caused slight increase in gap size from what we were laying out before, but, anecdotally, better regen outcomes and happier operator.
