A Well-Managed Stand
The stand shown here occupies part
of the same Montgomery County VA ridgetop as seen in the last panorama,
and is approximately the same age. This stand has been well-managed.
A harvest was done about 15 years ago to remove many of the weaker,
less desirable trees. The better quality trees have been able to
grow unencumbered and as you pan around, you will see many medium and
high
quality sawtimber trees. These are worth much more money. Additionally,
the species seen is mainly white
oak, a much longer-lived species,
which is also more desirable for wildlife.
