Fridays on the Farm: Improving Forest Health and Creating Habitat in Ohio This Friday meet Alex Winters, a private forest owner in Washington County, Ohio. The white oak tree, found primarily in southeastern Ohio, is a versatile species favored by humans and wildlife. Though mature white oak trees still dominate woodlands, young trees and saplings are not growing in the understory to replace the older generations, threatening the future of the tree species. Researchers and conservation experts have found that active forest management is key to its survival, and private forest owners, like Alex, are helping by implementing conservation practices. |
