[QUOTE="treefarmer, post: 4775939, member: 10041"] Chuck Swan is mostly owned by the Tennessee Division of Forestry, but has some in-holdings owned by TWRA. It is jointly managed by TWRA and the Division of Forestry. I'm on the Forestry Commission and haven't heard of any discussions to sell and would be surprised if they did. Timber is cut as needed to maintain a healthy forest. TN forests are generally too old so timber harvesting is the best thing for wildlife to bring back some food and cover. Clear cutting is frequently the best method of cutting, as mother nature will insure the next forest is a high quality one. Select cut or thinning hardwoods frequently results in a loss of oaks, and an increase in shade-tolerant trees such as maple, sweetgum, hickory, etc. Timber harvesting is usually a small-acreage cut, such as 20-30 acres. When we cut timber on our family Tree Farm a few years ago I specified the clear cut method for those reasons. [/QUOTE]
