Manitou Forest Project Presentation
In collaboration with the Nature
Conservancy, this project on the Minnesota North Shore will
examine the potential to manage second growth forests to
create old-growth characteristics anda flow of timber products
at the same time. The design includes second-growth stands
to receive several silvicultural treatments, second-growth
control stands, and old-growth reference stands. Several
replicates of each of these conditions will be followed
for approximately 20 years. Productivity, species richness,
and structural characteristics will be monitored throughout
the experiment.
