Managing Your Woodlot: Harvesting and Renewing It

West Virginia Extension Service Managing Your Woodlot: Harvesting and Renewing It Produced with funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Renewable Resources Extension Act, this video explains that one of the most important tools in managing a forest is the harvesting process. Selecting the trees for harvest that meet the management objectives of the owner, properly marketing those trees, and seeing that the trees are harvested properly so that erosion is minimized, water quality is protected, damage to residual trees is prevented, and desirable natural regeneration is promoted are all parts of a good harvesting job.
