Forestry techniques like thinning and gap cuts (small clearcuts of 0.5 to 1 acre in size) are sometimes recommended to increase snowpack, delay snowmelt, and thereby increase soil moisture later into the spring.

This OSU Extension webinar series will delve […]
In western Washington, hardwoods have largely been ignored or maligned in favor of more valuable commercial timber species like Doug-fir and other conifers.
