Amazing video on forest management for FUTURE wood harvest. Incredibly educational. Don't know what's more interesting, the forest videos or the mining videos. Many thanks!!

Hey Jason, Great update! That's a lot of work to clear those trees! Stay safe! We need you mining gold! :) Thumbs up! Jim

Last spring I planted about 40 trees on my land, western red cedar and Doug fir. They did great this past summer. Planting 80 more this spring. Cutting out the alder now.

Jason the work you do with the trees are almost as awesome as the gold mining videos. Science is driving the hard work you are doing to provide! Great work and thanks for sharing this content!

The Alder are nursery trees , here anyway . They have three types of root systems , they hold the ground in place and add biomass to the soil . We have spruce leader Wevels here , the ones that grow in the open are affected the ones growing under the Alder are not affected . Seedlings germinated under the Alder don’t get sunburned , they are a critical part of the reforestation . The Conifer grow past the Deciduous trees and they die out naturally . 👍🇨🇦

I wonder how some traditional bowyer woods would grow in your stand. What I would give for some good staves.

Doesnt alder resprout from the stump?

@davidanalyst671 Ай бұрын

at least you got some firewood. I bet you have a external wood furnace to stay warm in the winter. Jason seems like that kind of guy. You are telling us this, but have you talked to someone who has done this before? And are they any fertilizers you can throw down in your forest?

Alder is a nitrogen fixer in the soil

Listen to the song “The Trees” by Rush. It will explain about it all!!!!

I could make a lot of furniture out of those cut Alder trees. Just as they are. Send them through a debarker machine, then put the bark and chips around those transplants. High heat will stun any plants that are not used to it and our planet is getting hotter. My tomato plants in 2024 were a bunch of different varieties and I grew them on the North side of my deck and to get partial shade from our neighbor's Cottonwoods they grew over 8 feet and were abundant. Cannabis and Tomatoes use the same nutrients. It was a bountiful year.

A suggestion (since you have the excavator already): If you can find a hydraulic tree sheer, that fits your excavator (and doesn't cost an arm and a leg), it would make your thinning a lot easier. Weed control is essential as well, so you might have to give all that grass etc. a dose of herbicide in the spring. Underplanting existing stands is not easy in any shape or form. If the alders grow back from the root, it might be worth considering knocking them all down to ground level, plant the conifers and then remove the alders, when start they outrunning the conifers.

Please no herbicides. If we feed our Earth, it will feed us. We poison our Earth it will poison us. To cut down on weeds it is better to use shredded bark and tree and brush chips to manage weeds. I've been using that mulch for over 30 years to suppress my weeds and it naturally fertilizes the soil too.

Now if only more land owners, including the government would thin here in western Washington.

The US Forest Service here in NM should come to your State of Washington. They like to start fires when they know a windy storm is coming. It gets out of hand and destroys communities and the forest. Dumb $hits. Then FEMA is broke and those who lost everything have to wait 4-6 years for FEMA to pay the third of their properties worth and if they had insurance, then insurance should pay for the other 2/3's.
