Restoring Ecological and Productive Function to Woodlands – a Field Practicum at Arnot Teaching and Research Forest
September 30, 2021 from 8am to 4:30pm
This workshop will help participants understand the ecological principles that underlie the complications of forest regeneration in order to restore depleted and degraded stands, especially with the confounding interactions of deer and interfering understory vegetation. Management strategies (i.e., slash walls and "brushing") that limit exposure to deer impacts and reduce interference are showing promising results to establish new quality stands. Pre-registration required (use link below).…See More
Spotted lantern fly in maple stands - effects?
Hi, All.I've been reading brief mentions that spotted lantern fly "likes maple". I'm wondering if there is any experience so far with what happens to a forest that has a heavy proportion of maple composition and is hit with a SLF infestation. Our forest is nearly 2/3 maple, about half/half sugar/red, with some stands more and some less. What is the danger to such stands from this pest? SLF was found in our county (Tompkins, NY) last year so it's here already in spots.Thanks, TimSee More

Painting Our Way Out of a Corner
It’s normal to tune out all the Chicken Littles (such as yours truly) who run around squawking about this or that invasive forest pest or disease that pose a threat to trees. I mean, how many times can the sky fall, anyway? But the real danger is when we feel so overwhelmed that we throw up our hands. Thinking we can’t make a difference could result in more harm to forests than the pests themselves.
There’s a pithy fable about a child who…

Gypsy Moths

Like a B-grade horror film sequel, the aliens have awakened once again. Perhaps we felt a glimmer of hope at the end of the 2020 version when an entire generation of ruthless monsters died off in droves and left us in peace. But remember that closing shot of their disgusting, furry egg-mass blobs cleverly hidden out of sight? Well they’re hatching now.
If you missed last year’s gypsy moth performance, you have a better chance of catching it this season. Unfortunately. Based on…

I just got a hypo-hatchet to use for beech hack and squirt treatments. The manufacturer states to only use with Amine herbicides only. Is glyphosate an Amine or Ester herbicide?Continue

Forester recommendations?

We are new to forestry ownership and need some advice. We would like to be good stewards of the property and also provide occasional profit of some kind, especially to offset the taxes we pay on the property. I was thinking tree farming (?) as a…Continue
succession after a pine plantation
Started by Jim Martin in Woodlot Management Jun 23. 0 Replies 1 Like
About 1982 I planted 8000 white pine in a former pasture on the advice of my ex-forester with an OK from the DEC. They got badly weeviled. I thinned every third row and later also hit the most damaged ones which were left. I hoped to favor…Continue
Hemlock

Is there a reason the State of New York stopped selling hemlock seedlings? I'd made up my mind that I'd like to plant a hundred, maybe more, for my grandsons to enjoy, but find no source. Continue
How long do brush cutter blades work?

I dunno maybe it's because time flies when it's multiflora rose and buckthorns that are getting whacked. It seems that these blades are needing retirement after 8 or so hours. Is this typical for this type of material. WIde range of material but…Continue
