Think about planting many trees and shrubs, not just a few
Move from micro-management to thinking at a system scale
Design a system that contributes to community social and ecological values

Part III - Ecological Principles Ecology: the study of natural communities and how they function
and interact
Principles of succession Principles of forestry Water resources and your
natural area Principles of wildlife ecology

Natural areas change over time, whether or not you do anything to them.
You can alter the process of succession Tree vary in their requirement for sunlight.

Different successional stages provide different wildlife habitat, aesthetics, and recreation.
Every small wooded lot may not contain every stage of succession

Each stage of succession supports different wildlife. Diversity of habitat a good thing.

Forestry Principles: Getting Down to Basics
1. Tree size not directly related to age 2. Different tree species require
different conditions 3. Trees grow at different rates -
compete for resources (i.e., sunlight, water, and nutrients)
4. Forests are 3-dimensional
![Page 34: Jonathan Kays, Extension Specialist Natural Resources ... · 69% turned existing lawn into natural area. 89% said natural areas impacted by woodland activities. 54% developed a map](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042407/5f21eb1f20920f03f657f198/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Forestry Principles: Getting Down to Basics
5. Trees reproduce either from seeds or sprouts 6. Trees don’t live forever; dead trees valuable for wildlife and
soil 7. No matter how you manage your land, but especially if you
practice passive management, invasive and exotic species will inhabit it.

Improving Wildlife Habitat Value
Natural areas will increase food, cover, water, space
Get across the message, ‘Messy is okay’
New natural areas will attract wildlife that will increase wildlife-human conflicts (i.e. deer)

Landscapes and Backyard Woodlots: Business Opportunities for the Green Industry
Gettysburg, PA - November 11, 2008
Lessons Learned: Chicken ‘n Egg Problem Professionals realize they are not well qualified to make
management recommendations, but can implement them. Can work with a forester.
Green industry unsure of demand and potential profitability of woodland practices, especially in economic climate. Need success stories.
Arborists not interested in logging activities due to differing OSHA regulations.

Where to Go From Here? Revision of the WIYB guide is expected in early 2015. Webinar series once new guide released. Presentations and two-evening workshops as requested.
Even Later Peer to peer training for selected volunteers on WIYB Survey to identify interested loggers Training for foresters and loggers. Equipment? Identify green industry professionals interested in
implementing business model based on WIYB

Challenges to Overcome! Change in paradigm of forestry community – small
acreage owners are worth the effort. Why? Need to work on service provider problem. Use of small acreage harvesting equipment and
willingness of owners to engage. How to best market to this clientele?
