Event Description
| In this workshop, participants will explore options for managing planted or natural white pine stands based on resent research by natural resource scientists. Currently, there is very little proactive management of the white pine resource in New York. The standard practice has been to allow white pine stands growing on quality sites to revert to hardwoods. Silvicultural investments to re-establish white pine on better sites, characterized by nutrient-rich mesic soils, where the species can attain impressive yields and quality, are rare due to perceived costs associated with controlling competing hardwoods, woody shrubs and herbaceous plants. Legitimate concerns about white pine weevil and white pine blister rust further exacerbate a reluctance to invest in management. We will investigate those circumstances where such investments may be warranted for commodity markets, landscape diversity, and wildlife habitat with presentations, discussions and site visits. |
