Ruffed Grouse Society SERIES: Silviculture Sep 08, 2022

Show notes

We close out the Ruffed Grouse Society series round table style with Nick Biemiller and Ben Jones of RGS/AWS but also Michael McCord, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) Small Game Coordinator. We put a book end on the series with a discussion all about Silviculture!

What is Silviculture?
A forest is NOT a monoculture crop!
"Demand per acre is rising and more difficult than ever to manage"
Public and private land management diversity
Silviculture not only "grows trees" but also manages/controls invasive and undesirable species
"Herbicide" is not always a bad word
Grouse + Acorns
Shelterwood Cuts or Clear Cuts?
Not all trees are created equal
Climate control and how early successional forests help
