Parking space is limited – please carpool if possible. A commercial thinning of about 30 acres of 30-year old Douglas-fir plantation is underway at the Matteson Demonstration Forest. On this tour we will talk about how the harvest is meeting management objectives, which include improving the stand, producing income and creating more diversity. We’ll discuss markets for the cut logs (including short poles). We’ll also see how a cut-to-length processing system is used, and fire conditions permitting, will see a demonstration of the logging equipment. |
