Cavity-Nester Habitat; Artificial Douglas-Fir Snags

Purpose

Standing dead trees, or snags, are a source of foraging habitat and nesting cavities for wildlife. We evaluated the efficacy of creating Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) snags (by girdling, silvicide treatment, and topping) and their influence on deter

Improving the Performance of Wood Poles

Purpose

A series of pole sections will be treated with a new fumigant. These poles will be evaluated for fumigant movement. A second series of poles will be treated with groundline preservative wraps to evaluate chemical movement in and out of pole sections.
