Join a panel of experts in a discussion on alternative strategies for managing pines. Through a combination of presentations, virtual site tours, and a roundtable discussion we'll cover early and late rotation management for structural and compositional diversity on large and small scale pine forests. Specifically, the workshop will address:

• Ecology and dynamics of pine systems
• Early rotation management including variable density thinning and logger selection
• Later rotation management to emulate natural disturbance regimes
• Forest health considerations including heterobasidion, shoot blight, armillaria, and climate change
• Application of these methods via case studies and drone footage
