Welcome

This site is designed to help forest managers exchange silviculture prescriptions, including the outcomes of actual on-the-ground management activities. The cases linked below are real, on-the-ground stories submitted by natural resource managers and others involved with forest conservation and stewardship. The library was conceived with the idea that every silviculture treatment is an experiment, every forest manager both a teacher and a learner.
