Show Notes

We close out the Ruffed Grouse Society series round table style with Nick Biemiller and Ben Jones of RGS/AWS but also Michael McCord, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) Small Game Coordinator. We put a book end on the series with a discussion all about Silviculture!

  • What is Silviculture?
  • A forest is NOT a monoculture crop!
  • "Demand per acre is rising and more difficult than ever to manage"
  • Public and private land management diversity
  • Silviculture not only "grows trees" but also manages/controls invasive and undesirable species
  • "Herbicide" is not always a bad word
  • Grouse + Acorns
  • Shelterwood Cuts or Clear Cuts?
  • Not all trees are created equal
  • Climate control and how early successional forests help
  • Series Wrap Up
