Regenerating Oak in Stands Where Beech is Present tour

Northern red oak is an important tree species in our region, for both timber and wildlife. However, regenerating red oak can be challenging especially when American beech is present.

UNH Extension and Cheshire County Conservation District will hold a Regenerating Oak in Stands Where Beech is Present tour on Wednesday September 18th, from 4 to 6 pm at the Danahy Property on Colony Mine Rd., Alstead, NH

Licensed forester Peter Renzelman and UNH Extension County Forester Matt Kelly will lead a tour of a private woodlot that was thinned eight years ago and where beech control methods were used.

Peter and Matt will lead a discussion about red oak and beech ecology, management approaches to promote red oak regeneration, and techniques to help prevent beech from dominating future stands.

They will also discuss beech leaf disease, its impacts, and how it may change our thinking on managing beech going forward.

Directions to Workshop Site:
