[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5838507, member: 5787"] Not necessarily used fire for your specific situation, but similar - a few areas we have need to be burned and are way overdue - nothing but 8-10 year of woody sapling thickets. They were logged several years before I took my burn class. After they’re burned, we will walk through during spring green up and hopefully a lot of it gets zapped. What doesn’t will be hack n squirted and/or girdled. The best times to zap saplings are in the fall (but the right conditions are hard to come by at that time), and also spring when they barely start leafing out (that’s when our class teacher really said he liked to kill saplings). As far as timing, feb-may when conditions are right, also aug-Sept. Your spring fires promote native grasses, while your early fall fires promote native forbs. We spent all day today thinning a 4 acre hillside of hardwoods to allow sunlight to hit the ground. We will burn it in a year or two. [/QUOTE]
