Establishing woodlands is as much the design of a process as a planting plan. Guided succession can foster the orderly transformation from an open field to a multi-tiered forest through planting, managed natural recruitment, or a combination of the two. Under existing canopy, where few herbaceous species can be established through direct seeding, we will discuss the planting of small ‘seed source colonies’, and the management strategies that can encourage their proliferation into the larger landscape. Field techniques that are unique to woodlands such as selective height mowing, sunlight manipulation, assisted seed dispersal, and others will also be described in detail.
Attendees will receive login-protected access to an extensive course manual including plant lists, an ecology-based plant characteristics chart, equipment recommendations, wildlife habitat enhancement strategies, diagrams for planting and maintenance procedures, and more.
Note: If attending individual sessions only, Day 1 is a “recommended” prerequisite to Days 2, 3, 4, & 5.
Applicable Regions: Eastern and Midwestern US (Florida excluded).
Note: This course will have some repeated information from previous intensive design short courses.
