In Episode 6 of The Forestry Project Podcast, podcast host Jace McCauley sits back down to discuss the time component of forest management with Dr. John Kush. Dr. Kush is a repeat guest from episode 3, a retired research fellow at Auburn University, and has been inducted into the Alabama Foresters Hall of Fame. He teaches several Auburn University classes, such as Restoration Ecology, Plant Ecology, and Forest History.
Topics discussed in the podcast are how long trees and forests take to grow and species to consider for impacting those times. Additionally, Jace shares his thoughts on his family's land for wanting to change the species composition but not wanting to take the land back to square one. They talk about how to enjoy the forest management process during the times between the current forest and the next one. Also, in the episode, Dr. Kush and Jace discuss the impacts certain management practices have on the timeline of your forest and other considerations of getting into the big three management activities.
If you have or manage forestland and want to develop a realistic timeline for achieving your management goals and ways to speed the process up and whether you should try to speed it up, this episode is for you.
