The first stop offered a look at an old pature that was naturally returning back to forest. - Baughman pointed to established stands of white pines, sweet birch, oak and hickory trees. He explained this stage of development lends itself well to wildlife maintainence. The young forest provides adequate feed and cover for cottontails, deer and grouse to name a few wildlife species. The next stop, only a few paces farther, included a more mature forest with densely compacted trees. Baughman encouraged fanners with this type of forest to border cut about 10 yards into the woodline. Border cutting eliminates shade from adjacent crop fields and generally increases crop yields. Cut trees will remain alive and continue to provide food and cover for wildlife. Baughman advised recutting every 10 years. An old log landing created another ideal wildlife habitat.

Tall dead trees pitted with several holes may look out of place in a thriving forest but Baughman stressed these “den trees” provide homes for many birds and small mammals. Most cottontail hunters are aware of the merits of brushpiles. But Baughman pointed out they do more than just hide bunnies. They will slowly return organic mater and nutrients back to the earth and protect sprouts from heavy deer browsing. By insuring a variety of trees and vegetation on a woodland plot, a land-owner can help protect the forest against a disease attack on a particular species, thus streghening the forest and provide constant food and cover for midlife.
