Use of Nest Structures by Wildlife in Managed Forest

Purpose

Research project is aimed to determine: (1). If nest structures for cavity-nesting wildlife will be used in young managed stands. (2). To compare use by primary and secondary cavity nesters of structures filled with sawdust (requiring excavation) with e

Alternative Silvicultural Systems

Purpose

In order to develop stand management alternatives to manage both timber and wildlife, two storied stands (shelterwood), small group regeneration cuts (1-1.5 acres) and clearcuts will be installed on McDonald and Dunn Forests in 1989, 1990 and 1991. Treat
