Learn about management practices that can create the conditions that promote
development and regeneration of White Oak in this webinar. Oaks grow slowly and can
be outcompeted by faster growing species, but a few management practices can make
a difference.
This is the first of three webinars in the Woodland Stewards 2023 webinar
series titled: Exploring Practices to Create and Maintain Woodlands in Open Forest
Environments.
Oaks are among the slowest growing species and require partial light conditions (intermediate light tolerance) to prosper. Because they are such slow-growers, they need a head start as advance reproduction and to compete with faster-growing species. Stands require frequent disturbances to maintain those intermediate light conditions for oak growth. There are several practices that are available to encourage growth of oaks in these intermediate light conditions and discourage other species.
