Fighting forest fires .... with forest fires. Yes, instead of putting out every #fire, we need to better incorporate #Rxfire into our #ForestManagement toolboxes. #controlledburn #goodfire #CanadaFires #airqualityalert #CanadaWildfires #smoke https://t.co/idQdzchG74

Here's an #Americorps climate corps position in forestry, starting this summer, focused on assisted migration. Very hands-on, great practical experience for an early career person.

Floating islands of invasive cattails! Cookie cutters! Muskrat experiments! If you're not watching today's @MNForestEd webinar with @TheBeaverDoctor what are you even doing with your life? (Don't worry, they'll post a recording, but it just wasn't the same without you.)

[UMN SFEC @MNForestEd]

Super excited about this event, focusing on natural disturbance and wildlife habitat across the Lake States.

Join us in-person at the @CFANS Cloquet Forestry Center or online.

Interested in recreational trail design? We've got a few copies left of an excellent @UMNExtNR publication authored by Mel Baughman. Probably won't reprint when the last 30 are gone: https://t.co/8SwTVd9Cah

[UMN SFEC @MNForestEd]

Talking about timber sale design for wildlife habitat today in McGregor. Great group of loggers and resource managers, presenters from @mnforestry and @mndnr Wildlife, Aitkin County Land Dept.

[UMN SFEC @MNForestEd]

Other key concepts from today:
-Differences in value of habitat attributes at different ownerships & forest conditions.
-Edge effects, esp on small harvest patches.
-Value of open, respectful exchange among wildlife, logging, and forestry folks.

Great day!

In MN, group selection treatments are often used to efficiently open up growing space to restore quality and habitat diversity in degraded stands. Photo in previous tweet was from UPM Blandin land. Common on county forest too.

[UMN SFEC @MNForestEd]

Now out in the woods talking tradeoffs in small patch cuts vs. strips, etc. Great to get loggers wildlife biologists and foresters together in the woods! #silviculture
