“What will my woods look like?” This is often one of the first questions that forest landowners ponder when considering forest management options that involve harvesting timber on their property. The visual aesthetics of their forest is important to them and the fear of how a harvest might alter the look of their woodlot can often hold them back from implementing necessary management practices. The HDC & HUGs have developed this pictorial resource for forest landowners to see before and after examples of various silvicultural treatments utilized in Pennsylvania.
The goal of this book is to help forest landowners understand common silvicultural treatments used in Pennsylvania that involve timber harvesting, and to give them a better idea of what those treatments look like before and after. We have attempted to highlight forests and practices that are representative of those commonly found throughout PA.
