With the beginning of hunting season, we start to think about the deer, turkeys, squirrels, grouse and bears and how they survive in the woods. Timber management, or lack of management, creates a variety of conditions for the wildlife to contend with. Some conditions are good and others are not. For example; a timber cut that has been properly planned has an abundance of regeneration (small saplings and new seedlings) already established on the ground and growing prior to the cut.With the new tops on the ground after the harvest creating a "browse" and the explosion of growth on the new saplings, a lush vegetative forage is created for deer.

We-The United States-are still growing more timber than we cut every year. Timber is a renewable natural resource. It is an agricultural crop and if we are "Good Stewards" with our timber resources, they-unlike oil, gas, or coal-will continue indefinitely. The large high quality trees in a stand are usually making the landowner the most money while they are growing.
