Category 7 Quality Improvement Silviculture Program


Category 7 Silviculture treatments promote tree quality and manage for multiple age classes. These treatments include crop tree release, crop tree pruning and selection management. Crop tree release and crop tree pruning are used to increase the quality and value of individual trees. Selection management is used to create and maintain uneven-aged forest
conditions, enhance tree growth, and encourage natural regeneration of shade-tolerant, long-lived species.
 
Links to resources, application and claim forms and category 7 silviculture criteria are found below.
 
Please note that property ID numbers (PIDS) are required on all applications and claims.
 
The video "Leaving a Legacy" which discusses category 7 treatments is available upon request david@asforestry.com.
