FOR 3210 Regional Silviculture (3 credits)

This course examines the silviculture of various forest regions in the United States with an emphasis on the Great Lakes region. Silviculture can be thought of as applied forest ecology; the theory and practice of influencing forest regeneration, species composition, and growth to accomplish a specified set of resource management objectives. This course will consider density management, regeneration practices, stand assessment and prescriptions, disturbance emulation, biodiversity conservation, and ecological restoration techniques through exploring alternative silvicultural strategies that follow from an understanding of regionally specific stand dynamics. Prerequisite: Forestry Technician A.A.S. or consent of instructor.
