If you’re a landowner or a wildlife enthusiast in Alabama, you know the importance of maintaining healthy forests to provide quality food and habitat for deer and other wildlife. Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) is a forestry practice that can help you achieve this goal by selectively removing low-quality trees and promoting the growth of high-quality trees.
In this video, we’ll focus on TSI techniques for improving pine and hardwood stands in Alabama. We’ll discuss the benefits of TSI, such as increasing the value of your timber and improving wildlife habitat, and the steps involved in implementing TSI, including identifying low-quality trees, determining the appropriate time for thinning, and using proper techniques to promote the growth of high-quality trees.

Im in NE Alabama and this property almost looks identical to mine. The pines, ridges, etc. Good info!!!
The key is honesty. Everyone who owns property wants to hear that it is perfect. But it's never is. You need to perfect things and improve!!
Cheers and love the content!!
Love that you talked about the seasonality of prescribed fire. Seeing the difference in the plant community response is a really cool thing to show. Love to see promoting both silvicultural prescriptions dovetailed with fire as well. Nicely done!
Can u talk about hogs and turkeys in Alabama
Is it best to Rx burn the first dormant season after you thin and then spray? Or should you wait a couple years after thinning to spray? What indicators are you looking for to let you know when to spray?
Looks about as dense as my land..
