I recently read this thesis:
https://books.google.com/books/about/Factors_Affecting_Avian_Diversity_in_a_N.html?id=xnVPYAAJ
produced by Tom Litwin in 1986, discussing the changes in Sapsucker Woods in
both avian type and foliage type, over the hundred years up to that time.
Amazing that
I agree with Mr. Confer and Mr. Pelkie. Though it may look a bit
shocking to see the immediate aftermath of cutting, inspections every few
months especially in the following spring will show how Nature rebounds
with benefits for wildlife.
A note on cutting the red pines; these were
argh: ‘something to the effect’
As Officer O’Hara said in Arsenic and Old Lace: “I have these great ideas, but
I can’t spell ‘em!”
