Regenerating Hardwood Forests: Managing Competing Plants, Deer, and Light
Publication for forest owners:
Today, it is not easy to grow a forest. Competing plants, white-tailed deer, and poor harvesting planning make it difficult to grow a forest. A new publication in the Pennsylvania Forest Stewardship Bulletin Series, Number 15; Regenerating Hardwood Forests: Managing Competing Plants, Deer, and Light by Dave Jackson, Mike Wolf, and Jim Finley will help forest owners and others understand natural forests regeneration challenges. It describes how understanding competition, deer and light can lead to successful forest regeneration and sustainable forestry. Forest Stewardship Bulletin 15 provides detail on obtaining successful forest regeneration. It describes actions forest landowners can take to control competition, deer, and light to ensure a regenerating forest for the future.
