Forest Management

On March 14, 2010 The Eastern Native Tree Society and Western Native Tree Society switched from discussion lists on Google Groups to a new discussion list in a Bulletin Board format at: http://www.ents-bbs.org/index.php Posts made since the inception of the BBS on march 14, 2010 will be sorted and archived on the BBS. Click on the link above to go to the equivalent section on the new BBS. This website will continue to serve as a front end for the ENTS and WNTS groups.

Please visit the BBs for the latest information and trip reports.

"State of the Art" Silviculture/Clear-cutting I think we need to have a separate topic for the forestry/silviculture issues raised by some of you in our MA Forest Futures review process. I don’t like to take unpopular positions and don’t like arguments, but in this case, I think it is really, really important. This statement/question—there have been others—is typical of what I... more » Feb 1, 2010.
