2010 CORNELL STUDY INPUT FROM 197 FORESTERS “HARDWOOD REGENERATION IS … SUCCESSFUL IN ONLY 30% OF FOREST STANDS”

2010 STUDY BY THE NATURE CONSERVANCY BASED ON 1647 USDA FOREST INVENTORY DATA PLOTS “REGENERATION ADEQUATE ON ONLY 43% OF DATA PLOTS”

AGE RANGE OF SECONDARY FORESTS 60 TO 120 YEARS WITHOUT REGENERATION, WHAT WILL OUR FORESTS LOOK LIKE IN FIFTY YEARS WHEN MOST OF THE CURRENT TREES ARE GONE ? AVERAGE TREE LIFE 80 TO 160 YEARS

SOLUTIONS INCLUDE MANAGING DEER – REDUCING POPULATION – INCREASING HUNTER ACCESS – EXPENSIVE FENCING

SOLUTIONS INCLUDE MANAGING INVASIVE AND INTERFERING VEGETATION

SOLUTIONS INCLUDE EDUCATION PUBLIC OUTREACH ADVOCACY
