Silviculture has been described as “imitating nature and hastening its work.” This webinar will examine the growth and development of trees and forests and how to manipulate these characteristics to maximize multiple benefits, including forest products, forest health, wildlife habitat, and visual quality. Important terminology and techniques will be explained and the pathway from regeneration to maturity illustrated for some of the more important tree species of the Eastern US. Concepts are applicable to forests in diverse locations.
