Summary of Treatments
Entire watershed prescribed burned in April, 1942. All trees and shrubs within the cove-hardwood type (areas adjacent to stream) deadened with chemicals in 1954. This treatment represented 25% of both land and area and total watershed basal area. Retreated as necessary for three consecutive growing seasons. All trees and shrubs cut and burned in 1956-57, no products removed; white pine planted in 1957. In subsequent years, pine released from hardwood competition by cutting and chemicals as necessary.
