#242 - Managing TIMBER with FIRE! - How to Start Managing Property For Wildlife Diversity | The Hunting Public

In this episode, Keith and I are talking about the importance of managing timber with our friends Larry, Ben, and Alex. We discuss why fire is an important tool in timber management, how to overcome hurdles that may prevent you from starting timber stand improvement projects, and creating goals for the land you are managing. These guys have done an amazing job making improvements on Larry’s 80 acre property and as a result the hunting opportunities have increased greatly in just 5 years. From a hunting standpoint alone this property went from an average 80 acre parcel to the most attractive buck bedding location in the area! If you or someone you know owns land and wants to reach the goals of better hunting, maximizing timber value, and creating diverse habitat for all local wildlife then this podcast may help get you started!

Topics Include:

-what a healthy forest looks like

-the difference between a small, managed, timber stand and huge public land timber stand that isn't managed

-creating better hunting opportunities by managing timber
