Does Huber plant trees after they harvest?
does not usually plant new seedlings in Maine forests. This is because the fertile soils develop an excellent seedbed for natural regeneration. Because of Maine’s glacially-derived soils and the climate, sunlight is all that’s usually needed to get new trees to resprout after a harvest. HRC foresters can influence the type and quality of that regeneration, however, by carefully planning to leave quality seed trees in the overstory. This is why the Shelterwood System of silviculture is most often employed on Huber’s managed forests.
