Presentation summary:
Many woodlands give the appearance of vigor and health because the vegetation is lush and green. However, the mixture of species is important as this determines the future of the woods, and the services it can provide. A concept known as the “Green Lie” describes a woodlot that is “green” but not able to serve the owner’s objectives. This webinar will address recent research about the interaction of deer and interfering vegetation, how the Green Lie develops, and how plants interfere with the establishment and recruitment of desirable plants. Finally, we will discuss some of the factors that owners and managers should consider when selecting a treatment option. Examples of “what would you do” will engage the participants in selecting correct options for different circumstances.
