I'm located in TN and I'm looking for some references for smaller wood lot management. I've contacted the university extension office. I would like to educate myself on proper management of smaller wooded lots ~1 acre.
I've been clearing out the dead and diseased trees (rot, old storm dammage, and pine beetle) but additional thinning may be required (presently about 500 trees/acre >4" DBH). My goal is to learn how to manage (instead of just cutting down for firewood) to generate a healthy(er) looking stand of trees. The majority of the references I've found are for larger stands.
Thanks!
