Woodlot Management

Woodlot management is critical to the renewablilty of wood as a resource, and for healthy maximization of productivity. A great resource in Manitoba is the Manitoba Forestry Association. Check out their web site here. In March 2011 we focused on woodlot management. Our resource person at the meeting was Andrea Kraayeveld. Her presentation touched on topics such as:

  • Selective harvesting
  • Species management
  • Berries, nuts and sap
  • Multi-purpose shelter-belts
  • Firewood preparation
  • and, just a bit, logging with animals.

Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Initiatives also gives more information on Woodlot Management here.
