Presentation summary: 

The forests of today aren’t the same as the forests of yesterday. What kind of forests can and should woodlot owners manage for tomorrow? Understanding what trees grow well and where is one of the foundations of such forest management decisions. Soils, climate, geology, tree biology, human actions, and natural disturbance all contribute to why trees are growing where they do. We will explore the basics of tree biology, forest ecology and human actions to explore why trees grow where they do.
