Forestry Balance forest diversity on<br />

the Training Site by<br />

maintaining the integrity of<br />

the historic representation<br />

of forest composition<br />

Goal<br />

Created 2009 Objectives<br />

1/1/2003 Increase by 50 acres the white pine<br />

type by stimulating <strong>and</strong> encouraging<br />

the white pine component in those<br />

st<strong>and</strong>s where the species is<br />

represented as a subsidiary species or<br />

part of the understory by utilizing<br />

acceptable timber st<strong>and</strong><br />

improvement techniques.<br />

Try to maintain 1000 acres of the<br />

jack pine type as a critical ecosystem<br />

component by continued intensive<br />

reforestation <strong>and</strong> protection efforts<br />

in those st<strong>and</strong>s where harvest has<br />

been necessary as well as cutover<br />

areas formerly occupied by the<br />

species.<br />

Explore 2 innovative reforestation<br />

techniques in 2009 such as seeding or<br />

drilling of jack pine to lessen the<br />

impact of herbivory; <strong>and</strong> underplanting<br />

of shade-tolerant hardwoods<br />

<strong>and</strong> conifers to rejuvenate heavily<br />

used bivouac sites.<br />

In 2010 monitor the presence <strong>and</strong><br />

condition of butternut trees as part of<br />

cooperative research studies<br />

promoted by the U.S. Forest Service-<br />

North Central Station, MNDNR, <strong>and</strong><br />

Camp Ripley, examining the<br />

potential of phenotypic disease<br />

resistance in the population to<br />

butternut canker.<br />
