For many of us, one of our first experiences handling a paint gun is while learning to tend a pine plantation.  It all seems very straight forward… thin from below, a little thin from above, hit the target BA and move on.  But sometimes it helps to step back and think about the forest products we are attempting to produce.  And one of the most valuable products in a pine plantation can be a utility pole.  What does it take to grow and tend utility poles in our stands?  In this episode of SilviCast, we dive into the silviculture around utility pole management with Jim Bauer, a Resource Manager with Stella-Jones.
