The
authors are seeking
photos of forest
conditions and treatments,
especially those
illustrating:
- Regional
landscapes
- Regional
forest cover types
and stand conditions
(e.g., young,
mature, old forest,
various densities)
- Stand
treatments (before,
treatment application,
after, and several
to many years
after)
- Examples
of forest management
practices and
specific treatments
(prescribed burning,
planting, release,
thinning, etc.)
We
urge readers to
send these photos
to us at sfinley@umn.edu with
appropriate verbal
description for
captions. Especially
helpful would be
information including:
- Title/description
- Location:
County or Region
of state or state
- Date
(mm/dd/yyyy) optional
- Contributor
(full name or
first initial
and last name)
and/or organization.
- Contact
phone number,
email address,
and postal address
Example:
Red
pine after thinning to 70 square
feet of basal area, Itasca County,
MN, 9/29/2005, Brian
J. Palik, USDA Forest Service
Northern Research Station.
This
contributor recognition
will then be applied
to all photos ultimately
used on the site. In
addition to the
photo caption with
credit to the individual
and/or their organization,
a list of contributors
will be maintained
as part of the site.
In other words,
we are seeking user
help in enhancing
this website. Note
that all contributions
will be considered
in the public domain,
i.e., not subject
to copywrite.
The
authors have noted the difficulty
of obtaining photo coverage of
all the possible forest conditions
and treatments, thus contributions
of this type will be extremely
valuable in improving this site.
Finally,
we would appreciate detailed descriptions
of treatments or silvicultural
prescriptions that have been documented
as especially effective for management
of the noted species, cover types,
or associated problems.
Should
you have questions on this request,
please direct them to sfinley@umn.edu.
