[QUOTE="Moonman, post: 5289314, member: 13431"] I agree about everything above but disagree with a couple of things. 1 being having them clean up all the slash depending on terrain can do 2 things. If hilly it can cause erosion and leaving the slash helps with erosion control. Secondly when they are cleaning it up it disturbs the soil more. My forester had done where they piled it up and regretted it due to these items. In one area where they didn’t clean it up they had better Regeneration of desirable species. 2 I’m not sure what your makeup is of species. Our goal was to allow a shelterwood type regeneration scenario. We have our desired species white oaks at a certain density per acre and with a certain amount of canopy sunlight penetrating to floor as to keep down the growth of other things. Currently oaks in my area are experiencing a high rate of die off due to disease from stress during droughts. I would have a forester to look at the health of the stand. Lastly I would recommended cleaning out through TSI all the undesirables prior to a cut. We did this and iradicated anything we didn’t want such as sweet gum, maple, privet, etc. [/QUOTE]
