Harvest Name:  Fenceline & Ketchup

Approximate Closure Duration: 2 months

Size: 43.3 acres (Fenceline); 10.2 (Ketchup)

Prescription: Thinning

Harvest Objectives: This project is designed to promote long term forest health and windfirmness through removal of suppressed and dying trees.  Young, relatively dense stands frequently benefit from reduction in the number of trees per acre, and awell-designed thinning operation will reallocate growth to vigorous, dominant and co-dominant trees.  In addition, thinning will promote the development of understory vegetation.

Average Tree Age: 31 years old (Fenceline); 37years old (Ketchup)
