Watershed project involves woodland work *
By KEND ACE BORRY
LANCASTER - Healthy
trees just don’t happen,
according to Tim Breneisen,
superintendent of the
Watershed Reclamation
Project in Lancaster County.
He stated that manmade
watersheds of conifer or
evergreen trees need care
and work to do the job
they’re supposed to do.
Such a project will be
underway until the end of
February of 1979. Sponsored
by the Lancaster Con
Creeping vines, such as honeysuckle, can wind
around a tree and choke it to death. By removing
the lower branches and the vines, the men are
giving the conifer trees a better chance at survival.
servation District and
funded by CETA, the project
will .have run for one year,
with work being done m
different parts of the county.
Breneisen, a forester,
explained that basically
what his two crews of
workers are doing is thin
ning out the conifer plan
tations at different water
sheds throughout the county.
The basic idea in the
thinning is to remove about
one third of the trees, in
order to give the other trees
light at least on one side and
at the top. The more surface
of the tree that is exposed to
the light means more growth
for the tree. Removing some
of its competition also gives
it more growing space on the
ground area.
Every third row of the
trees are removed, plus any
hardwood trees, which
hamper the growth of the
conifers.
The branches and brush
from the work are spread on
the floor of the forest to help
protect the land. The trees
that are cut down are
removed from the area, cut
up into logs and utilized by
the Denver Wood Products,
New Holland.
Basically, Breneisen
related, the project is a
small logging operation. His
