Peck served as Rocky Mountain District 2 Forester under Chief Foresters Greeley and Stuart. On May 1, 1929, the agriculture secretary approved a change in the official designation of the nine districts of the Forest Service from “districts” into “regions” in order to avoid confusion with ranger districts.

  • Conifer Pruning EB1984
    EB1984 Donald P. Hanley, Ph.D. Stephen Reutebuch, M.S. Conifer Pruning Conifer pruning is the practice of removing the lower branches from live green conifer trees. Without pruning, the lower branches on conifers, such as Douglas-fir, western larch, and ponderosa pine, may persist for up to 80 years. The primary objective of pruning for wood quality improvement is to produce a small, uniform knotty core throughout the length of the pruned bole so that clear wood volume will be maximized. Achieving this objective may result in increased financial returns to the landowner when the trees are harvested. There are many other benefits from pruning, even if clear wood production or financial concerns are of secondary importance. These include: • Increased understory vegetation for wildlife. As young stands are thinned and the dominant and co-dominant trees are pruned, more light will reach the forest floor, resulting in increased grass, herb, and shrub vegetation over time. This new vegetation often attracts wildlife as forage, browse, and hiding cover. • Reduced fuel ladders. A “fuel-ladder” is the pathway that a fire can travel from the forest floor up to the tree canopy. Unpruned trees in unthinned stands have many low branches that can increase the probability of a fire getting into the tree crowns. Once the fire is in the crown, the likelihood of tree death is high and the probability of rapid fire spread increases. • Reduced incidence of disease. For some diseases, such as the introduced blister rust in white pine, pruning is a primary weapon in reducing the disease spread as blister rust fungi enters the tree through its needles near the ground.

  • Two Great Books About the 1910 Fires… 55 CLOSE-OUT SALES
    2 Great Folks and a Great Cause I hope you don’t encounter any mosquitoes as large as this one in Delta Junction, Alaska. Happily, this piece of public art didn’t bite. One of the nice things about managing Woodland Catalog is the opportunity it provides for me to travel and meet great folks. On the trip through Delta Junction my husband and I were on our way to a convention of the Outdoor Writers Association of America near Fairbanks. Other memorable visits have included the wonderful Smokey Bear Museum in Capitan, New Mexico, and meetings with the Forest Fire Lookout Association, Society of American Foresters, fire prevention specialists and others. And I’m looking forward to the Smokey Bear Association’s meeting next year in Bend, Oregon. Formerly that was the Hot Foot Teddy Collectors Association. The people I meet at these events are invariably inspiring. So many are dedicated to wildfire prevention and good forest management. I always come home invigorated and determined to work even harder at supplying the products that help keep Smokey’s message in the public conscience. Unless you are new to our catalog, you know of our ‘satisfaction guarantee,’ and our trademark service that is fast, friendly and easy to access. This is Woodland Catalog’s 28th year and a good time to once again say ‘thank you’ and that we appreciate your business and conduct ours accordingly. Have a safe and happy summer!
