[QUOTE="MickThompson, post: 4772869, member: 3172"] The way you burn matters. Age and quality of the timber and quality of the site plays into it as well. I wouldn’t burn a poplar stand in a cove but a poor sandy ridge of post oak? Why not. Young trees are more likely to be damaged than large trees and species with thin bark are more likely to be damaged than thick barked species. Those young trees won’t be harvested until well after we are all dead and gone though, and the purpose of the bid is to hurt them anyways. It’s impossible to make blanket recommendations without knowing your objectives and priorities for the land. Can it be done without damaging or killing trees? Sure. Will the presence of char on downed wood on the forest floor hurt your price some? Probably. [/QUOTE]
