While you may think you are just managing the trees on your property, much more goes into managing your woods. Developing a better understanding of the ecological interaction between the environment, such as sunlight and moisture, and the trees is critical. In Episode 5 of The Forestry Project Podcast, host Jace McCauley discusses how sunlight and moisture affect our woods and management.
Learning more about how the species you have or want on your property are affected by sunlight or moisture can be beneficial when deciding what you need to do on your property. Trees have adapted to grow from flood basins to dry upland sites under the forest canopy or in an old field. Knowing the tolerance of a particular tree will give you clues about how the seed travels to determine whether you want to let it seed in or you need to plant it.
Determining what the tree you want will need can help you decide if you can have a guiding hand in land management and guide the process or if you need to truly establish the ecosystem. If you have land that you want to begin managing or are looking for a resource to learn more about the interaction of your management, woods, and environment, this is the episode you need to listen to.
