I’ve been trying to harden off my chestnut seedlings by putting them out for a few hours during the day. After I brought them in the other day, I noticed some of the leaves got a bit crispy and curled. It was pretty windy and sunny. Curious if they will bounce back. Should I give them more...

New to prescribed fire and just getting some things figured out. I have several areas of native grass and pollinator plantings established and a few more I planted this spring. I would like to manage these areas going forward with fire. Is there any way I can scatter white cedar and white spruce...

Trying to source some cold hardy Chestnut seeds or seedlings. Read through all the threads on here along with many other web sources and I've got some reservations about which variety to go with. I'm in zone 4. Many trees are rated for zone 4 but it seems like most folks here and elsewhere...

So portions of my logging process are wrapping up and I'm hoping to convert a few clear cut areas to oak savanna/meadow areas going forward. One area is about an acre in size and I've got all the tops piled up to burn this winter. Everything was sacrificed this spring with a spring tooth...

Just about to pull in the driveway and saw my second and third fawns of the year. Shortly after noticed this little one laying just off the road. Cool to see but at this point we're noticing more and more of these white deer. Almost to the point where they are a nuisance. They are off limits...

As spring slowly creeps into Central Wisconsin I have finally decided to tackle what turned out to be an extremely satisfying project. Our property consists of an abandoned/retired limestone quarry. The exposed cliffs and pits are one of the main reasons we love our place. With that came a...

Got into a discussion the other day with a few buddies. One guy stays completely out of his property except to carefully access stands during hunting season. Only in ideal circumstances does he go into his woods. I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I am in the woods basically every day...

Greetings! Hopefully quick question about regenerating poplar in central WI. I have some areas with pole timber that is 2-3 inch DBH and about 20 feet tall. My plan is to cut everything to ground level this winter and run a fire through on the spring. Hoping to get tender new poplar shoots...

Read through almost all the habitat threads, talked to our DNR forester, you tube videos and read pretty much anything related to this topic. Some things I just can't seem to find answers to fit certain situations so I thought I'd find answers here. Been on our parcel about 3 years now...
