TOPIC: The Need For More Clearcuts - Wildlife Habitat and Silvicultural Implications
Do we need more clearcuts in Maine? Who would think that question would ever be raised? Since the implementation of the Forest Practices Act in 1989, the Referendums of the 90’s and changes in the ownership and management of large areas of Maine forest, the use of clearcutting is at a low ebb. The impacts on the landscape are raising concerns by some that the resulting forest structure is inadequate for some wildlife species habitat needs and that forest productivity and health may be affected as well. Our speakers this month are well versed in these issues and will share their views on what has been a controversial harvest practice.
Guest Speakers:
Gary Donovan - Habitat Management Coordinator, Wildlife Management Institute
Mark McCollough, Endangered Species Specialist, US Fish &Wildlife
Bob Seymour - Curtis Hutchins Professor of Silviculture – University of Maine
