Establish More Efficient and Biological Practice for Bringing Forest Land into Agricultural Use through Sustainable Development Using Indigenous Species for Alaska

Summary

The project is two-fold: 1) To reclaim valuable timber resources that were piled into windrows as a means to clearing forest land for agricultural use. 2) To establish, by using rotted birch and spruce mulch from the windrows as soil conditioners, a commercial lingonberry stand along with other native type and indigenous berries.
