In the eastern United States, oaks are abundant and provide significant economic and ecological benefits. However, oak ecosystems have experienced significant changes over the past century due to fire exclusion by suppression, land-use changes, pests, and pathogens. These pressures threaten the long-term sustainability of oak-dominated systems. Research-informed management efforts are critical now, more than ever.
The U S Forest Service’s Northern & Southern Research stations will hold a Planning for Oak Restoration at Scale webinar on Thursday, January 22nd from 10 to 11 am ET.
Oak restoration is a goal for many managed woodlands, but how do managers begin these efforts?
Presenters in this webinar will share research-based strategies for promoting natural regeneration (with prescribed fire, harvesting, and competition control) and artificial regeneration (by planting high-quality seedlings).
