Description

The Forest Guild recently published a review of existing guidelines for the harvest and removal of woody biomass from forests. New interest in using low value wood from forests for energy has promoted a number of states to create guidelines for how such material should be removed and what should be left in the woods for wildlife habitat, protection of site productivity, and other ecosystem values. In this webinar Dr. Zander Evans, Research Director at the Forest Guild, described existing guidelines and provide recommendations for future guidelines.
