Natural Resource Management
A forest management and wetland development project on a 40 acre parcel in Vilas County, Wisconsin. The project consists of three major goals. First, to selectively harvest mature softwoods based upon successional stages of forest growth in order to regenerate the pine and hardwood stands, while improving habitat conditions for various species of wildlife. The second goal is to transition an overgrown and currently unproductive marsh wetland into a year-round pond in order to support pre-existing aquatic and emergent vegetation, as well as to further attract and sustain wildlife. The third and final goal is to transform and utilize several acres of open space as result of the timber harvesting for the planting of native annual and perennial food sources.
