Timber Management for Habitat Management
A recently harvested part of the forest at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District’s Wright Patman Lake. Prior to leaving the area a clean-up will be conducted by the loggers and USACE foresters will verify only marked trees were harvested. Select harvesting provides spacing between trees in the forest to allow the sunlight to reach the ground and provide ground cover the ability to grow. This growth provides proper habitat for local wildlife.
