Speciail Cedar
'cutting tried
A recent harvest cutting of
cedar in Grey County took tAe
form of a special strip cutting
"experiment". ft is hoped that
the,strip treatment .will result insuccessful cedat regeneration on
the clear cut strips.
The 'project, in Osprey
Township, cOvers.an area of 13
.acres. The stand consists of
dense mature cedar trees with
average height 'of 40 feet- and
stump •' diameters up to 16
inches. It ". consists of both
swap and upland type S which
have an age of approximately 60
years.
Six strips (each 33 feet wide
and k60 .feet longlewereacut in a
northeasterly direction at right
to the prevailing winds. Intervals
•of -66 feet were left between the
strips to providd shelter and
protection to the clear cut strips
and also to provide a source of
'seed to regenerate them.
Thelelling was done so that
all standing growth within the
strips was removed and skiddedk,
in tree lengths to a landing along
a township road. The skidding
was thine with .a small crawler
tractor so the tractor pads would
stir up the ground, expose the
mineral soil, and thus create a
Suitable seed bed to. encourage
cedar regeneration. In addition,
the brush was distributed evenly
over .the strips to allow faster
deterioration of slash and bulk'
up of the organic layer of
humus.,
Through - projeCT-
Department „of s, Lands and
Forests staff hope to find out

concerning the management
requirements of local ,cedar
stands and 'so develop new:.
and better , techriirnfeg' for the
management of these stands in
the future.

"I believe governments are
beginning to realize that farmers
have been exchided from the

affecting their own industry,"
Hill said. "The result has
frequently been unrealistic,
unworkable programs."
