Abstract
Your woods are always changing and adapting as they grow and mature, or regrow after agricultural abandonment, natural disturbances, or harvesting activities. Events like storms, droughts, insect and disease outbreaks, or other stressors can damage trees or slow their growth. A changing climate may make your woods more susceptible to the problems these events can cause.
Step 1. Learn more about your woods
Step 2. Contact a forester
Step 3. Identify your goals & objectives
Step 4. Develop and implement a forest stewardship plan
