Presentation transcript:

Site preparation: Harvesting, partial harvest with residual maple overstory, full tree skidding (Aspen/birch stand, MN)

Site preparation: Harvesting, full tree skidding, random skidding, Quaking aspen stand (MN)

Conditions following harvest operation that are scheduled for prescribed burning

Prescribed burning by drip torches

Diversity of regeneration conditions in partial harvests – skid trail versus unharvested patch. Aspen/birch harvested and maples were left as residuals (MN)

Prescribed burning that burned too hot, damaging soil (OR) Not commonly used anymore

Site preparation: Removal of all organic matter, not done anymore because of environmental impact

Site preparation w/ cat and simple blade to reduce slash blade is lifted repeatedly to limit removal of organic matter

Site preparation: Blade w/ teeth to minimize removal of organic matter

Site preparation: Shearing to cut aspen stems

Site preparation: Rotating plow

Site preparation: Rotating plow

Site preparation using Braake, does not move slash, limited to planting spots

Site preparation: Braake

Site preparation: Limited to rows, to facilitate planting Note other vegetation requiring future release treatments

Site preparation: Experimental bucket mounding (not used operationally) to Create microtopograpy for northern white cedar regeneration (MI)

Site preparation: Bucket mounding 10-years later
