Each district does their own thing when it comes to retiring haul roads, skid trails and landings. The one similarity would be that they are all limed and fertilized prior to seeding. Some districts do the work themselves while others spec it in the contract. Like dutch stated, one component of the seed mix will be a quick soil stabilization seed such as WW, oats, rye or grasses and typically a perrenial mix (clovers, trefoil and chickory). These roadways through sale activities benefit a varity of wildlife species from grouse, woodcock and turkey broods to deer.flanuva said:Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering about the habitat openings the DCNR put in on various clear cuts and timber sales. Do they plant all the openings with clover/rye or do they vary depending on habitat?
