No matter how you define it, old-growth forests are scarce as hen’s teeth in the eastern United States. More than 99% of our forests are second growth. While we can’t speed up time, we can speed up the development of old-growth characteristics through creative silviculture. Join us on this episode of SilviCast as we talk with Paul Catanzaro, Professor and State Extension Forester at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, about a range of silvicultural techniques to restore old-growth characteristics.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1135730/open_sms">Send us a text</a> To earn CEU/CFE credits, learn more, or interact with SilviCast, visit the <a href='https://www.uwsp.edu/wfc/wisconsin-forestry-center/silvicast/'>uwsp.edu/SilviCast</a>.
