Proposal summary:
Our existing component of high-valued walnut is not naturally sustainable in mixed-timber stand along our creeks because walnut seedlings do not get sufficient direct sunlight. As such sites are logged or high-graded for walnut, low-valued species fill in the gaps. The objective is to compare two levels of site preparation to regenerate walnut on a creek bottom site dominated by stagnant, low valued brush and timber in order to sustain a healthy, high-valued walnut forest.
