After a stand of large pines were cut about 1900, understory balsam fir and spruce developed to pulpwood size. Only a few pines originated after the cutting in 1900, because spruce and fir already occupied the site.

A hardwood stand "creamed" for sawlogs 6 years earlier. The stand is too far from existing hardwood pulpwood markets. "Can anything be done to rehabilitate the stand? Should only the cull trees be poisoned, assuming it could be done for less than $6.00 per acre? What would you do with it?"

The same place after the first cut. Poor quality beech were poisoned 19 months earlier, and were debarked with frill and sodium arsenite for $4.13 per acre. It is anticipated that hard maple and yellow birch reproduction will have a better opportunity to become established without competition from the beech.
