We close out the Ruffed Grouse Society series round table style with Nick Biemiller and Ben Jones of RGS/AWS but also Michael McCord, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) Small Game Coordinator. We put a book end on the series with a discussion all about Silviculture!

What is Silviculture?

A forest is NOT a monoculture crop!

"Demand per acre is rising and more difficult than ever to manage"

Public and private land management diversity

Silviculture not only "grows trees" but also manages/controls invasive and undesirable species

"Herbicide" is not always a bad word

Grouse + Acorns

Shelterwood Cuts or Clear Cuts?

Not all trees are created equal

Climate control and how early successional forests help
