The Morrow County Private
WtMidlands Assoc sponvired a tour
o f forest operations on Saturday.
Sept 27 le e Palmer, president of
the association organized the tour
along with Dan Thorp and Mike
Vandehey of the < >regon State Dept
o f Forestry
Some o f the privately owned
forest land in southern Morrow
County is stagnated, trees are n»H
growing because they have been
crowded for a long time. Thorp ex
plained Ihe tour pointed out the dif
ference between thinned and un
thinned forest lands
Thinning is one forest practice
which really ekesn t have any disad
vantages. Thorp said It s much
easier to light tire in an area which
has hern thinned By renaming some
o f the smaller trees, tree growth and
inc reased forest production result
Opening Ihe forest allows planting
grass which provides an advantage
to both cattle and w ildlife
Ihe Ag Conservation Program
and Forest Incentive Program,
federal cost share programs, are
available to private woodland
owners and help defray costs To
enroll in the programs Vandehey
recommends checking with local
Agricultural Stabilization and Con
servation Service office The ASCS
and Dept of f orestry determine if
land qualities, he said When land is
accepted in to the p rogram .
Vandehey works with the landowner
to determine the individual s ob|ec
lives A management plan is work
ed out related to the owner's goals
whether he wants trees for future in
come, or habitat to grow w ildlife
The forest Service generally cn
courages a multiple use of the land.
\ attdehey continued, w i m m ) produc
lion, forage for cattle and habitat for
wildlife Wcusuallv recommend that

w ildlife, but the decision is the
owners
Normally, we discourage spring
thinning, Thorp said, because a bee

souk ' of the stands hadn't changed
