The shelterwood plot was left with about 50 sq. ft. of basal area among overstory trees 6"+ d.b.h. This opening produced an abundance of hard maple, yellow birch, and white ash seedlings. Deer promptly came to "picnic" and have permitted few of these to grow beyond 12" high (snow provides some protection). Six years later these better hardwoods were growing well only within the protection of the deer exclosure. Severe browsing outside of it was benefiting the less-palatable beech and witch hobble.
