Timber Stand Improvement

October 10, 2009—October 10, 2009
9:00 AM–5:00 PM

Understanding management practices can help you to guide the future of your forest. This class will give forest landowners an opportunity to understand an important forest management practice, timber stand improvement (TSI). TSI can promote high-quality timber, hasten the development of old-growth characteristics, advance the growth of desirable seedlings and saplings, and reduce undesirable species. It is an effective tool that can help you implement your forest management goals or get started. The class will include classroom introduction to the principles of TSI, followed by a field experience where students can apply their newfound knowledge by selecting trees to keep or cut using TSI techniques. Take the Game of Logging I class the next day, too, and learn to safely fell the trees you marked!
