[QUOTE="wrdabney, post: 4772849, member: 6830"] The general consensus from online research seems to suggest steering away from using prescribed fire as a management tool in hardwood forests if you have any interest in future timber value (who wouldn’t at least somewhat?). Just curious if any of you guys have first hand experience with burning in hardwoods and how it affected timber values down the road. I have a farm that was select cut about 3 years ago and the undergrowth is currently impassable in most areas. There is a good trail system throughout the property but if I can stagger burns in different areas throughout the years and help the habitat I am all for it. I don’t have a problem with thick undergrowth but would like to control it to some extent. Anybody dealt with this? [/QUOTE]
