Presentation transcript:

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)

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

Site preparation: Braake

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

Vegetation management: Manual weed control
