Management of Pacific Northwest Riparian Forests - Silviculture Techniques

  1. Site preparation
  2. Seeding
  3. Single tree selection

Famous quotes containing the word techniques:

    “The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
    —John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
