Planning for Oak Restoration at Scale

Webinar Series: Promoting Productivity in Eastern Oak Ecosystems

Oak restoration and management is a management goal in many eastern forests, but restoration is difficult to achieve in novel, mesophytic landscapes. Presenters in this session will share research-based strategies to help achieve restoration and other management goals through natural regeneration methods such as prescribed fire, harvesting, and competition control and through artificial regeneration methods such as planting quality-grown, locally adapted seedlings.

Speakers:

• Stacy Clark: research forester, Southern Research Station
• Melissa Thomas Van Gundy: research forester, Northern Research Station
