Forest Management - Reforestation

Project:  Carnine Property Reforestation
Client:  Doug and Linda Carnine
Dates:  February 2005
Services Provided:  Integrated Resource Management completed a reforestation using western redcedar on 10 acres within an existing clearcut recently purchased by the client.  The land was originally planted to Douglas-fir by the previous landowner, though regeneration failed due to poor site preparation.  IRM developed a plan to diversify species composition while controlling noxious weeds that included the spraying and mowing of weedy vegetation, followed by interplanting with cedar and valley pine.
