commercial thinning
New Member
Hello,
We are a group in Quebec that recently undertook a 20 year management plan
for private wood lots. After the past season of cutting.. what had been
proposed as a "selective" cut turned out looking more like a "clear" cut.
When does one become the other?? Are there industry guidelines or
standardized definitions? Is "commercial thinning" something else again?
We are wary to proceed as there is quite alot of division over what has
already transpired. Any help you can be on the topic would be appreciated.
