a big year succeed in a forest are species like maples, basswood, hackberry, box elder and elm. While there’s nothing wrong with these trees, they’re not as prized as our oaks, walnuts and hickories, for timber value, aesthetics or habitat. Unfortunately, the holes in the canopy opened up by the derecho also benefit invasive species. Landowner Springsteen said that the multiflora rose he’d almost eliminated has made a roaring comeback now that new light is reaching the forest floor. Cody Widner is a forester with the National Wild Turkey Federation. He calls for acting swiftly to combat invasive species like honeysuckle. “The longer you wait, it’ll take more and more time to combat these undesirable species,” he said. The DNR’s Bridges said that some landowners called immediately after the storm for help assessing timber damage. “Other people were so sickened by what had happened that it took them months to come out and look at it for the first time,” Bridges said. “I had a handful Cody Widner, National Wild Turkey Federation forester of people say, with some emotion in their voice, ‘I’m not sure if I’m going to tear up or vomit, but this means a lot to me.’” Some landowners who had put off timber harvests now have salvage harvests on their hands, according to Bridges. It wasn’t the way they had hoped to harvest their trees. “You went from full value to 35 percent value,” he said. From October to February, Bridges worked almost exclusively with derecho-impacted forest landowners, helping with 99 program applications and assisting about 50 other landowners. The application window has now passed for the Emergency Forest Restoration Program, but Bridges said that some other programs could help landowners still dealing with derecho damage, such as a cost share for removing undesirables and replanting with more desirable trees. Clean-up and regeneration Outside of Lisbon, Springsteen estimates that he lost 70% to 80% of his canopy. Within the first week, Springsteen contacted Bridges, who put him in touch with the logger Bruggeman. Bruggeman said his great-grandfather started the company making blanks for gunstocks in World War II. The derecho increased his business from two crews to four or five. “We probably planted 8,000 trees so far this spring, and we plan on doing 15 to 20,000 this fall,” Bruggeman said. “Mostly oaks, hickories and walnuts.” Springsteen invested in more equipment to handle the clearing. While Bruggeman’s crew worked with the large, dangerous trees, Springsteen worked with When it comes to accounting, you can count on us! contact our QuickBooks online Proadvisor team to get started today. services: Payroll, sales Tax, Accounts Payable, Accounts receivable, Financial statement, Farm record Keeping, Bill Pay, strategic Planning, and income Tax Preparation 107 East Quarry street, Maquoketa, Ia 52060 563-652-7810 ● Ohnward.com open Weekdays 8 am - 5 pm Evenings and saturdays by appointment Pictured, Ohnward Tax, Accounting, & Business Services team members: Paige Flemming, Staff Accountant; Verna Flagel, Enrolled Agent; Beth Weber, Senior Accountant; Adrianna Fier, Staff Accountant; and John Franzen, Enrolled Agent.
