Field Tour – Prescribed Burning in Overstory Removal Cuts with Established Oak

Tioga County, Tioga State Forest
August 14, 2024, 9 – 3:30 PM

This tour will be focused on burning in Mesic Oak stands that were previously harvested. Most of the harvest can be classified as Overstory Removals with 10-20 Basal Area of residuals remaining. These stands have established oak regeneration that is competing against less desirable species. Tioga State Forest has had success with increasing oak dominance within the regeneration layers while dealing with various complexities over the past several years.
