In the aftermath of disastrous wildfire seasons, it is harder than ever to find seedlings and workers for reforestation efforts. But there's help out there. Here's a look at what's available for reforestation efforts.
For owners of woodlands, summer is prime time to undertake tasks such as weed management, timber harvesting and wildlife habitat restoration. A land management plan can help ensure such tasks get done.
The ice storm in 2021 in Clackamas and Marion counties provided lots of lessons about the kinds of trees that are vulnerable to weather damage. It also showed that well-spaced trees are stronger in the face of adversity.
Under normal circumstances, reforestation projects take a lot of effort to pull off. But they are even more difficult now in the wake of widespread forest fires that have increased the demand for seedlings.
