Starting Point = Pine Stands Without Longleaf and With a Recent Fire History
The task of restoration is made much easier in this situation. At least
two growing season fires within two years of each other should be performed
prior to harvesting the overstory pines. The next steps include the decision
to harvest either overstory or components of the overstory. The harvest
can take either the form of a clearcut or a thinning to create "gaps"
in which longleaf pine seedlings are planted.
