By making strategic land management decisions, landowners can have a forest that meets their needs. Whether you are in the Mountains, Piedmont, or Coastal Plain, tree species have certain sites that they are most competitive in. This is influenced by the terrain, soils, and existing species.

The previous publication, Managing the Right Species on the Right Site: Part 1, Site Selection, focused on evaluating your site characteristics based on the species and terrain. Part two, Managing the Right Species on the Right Site: Part 2, Species Selection, focuses on choosing the best method to regenerate the next stand. Now that you understand the several factors that influence which species grow in each area of the landscape, you should decide whether to plant or naturally regenerate species depending on your area.

This new Woodland Owners Notes publication describes different types of harvesting appropriate for the management of specific species. You can regenerate a stand by replanting trees after harvest or by managing the site so that trees regrow naturally. Picking the right management strategy prior to a harvest can save you money and provide an optimal future income for you and your heirs.
