Other mature pines were left uncut and remained as seedtrees. Note the residual shelterwood stand now features a vigorous regeneration of young pines, various hardwood species, and a lush ground cover of native grasses and forbs. As part of this regeneration process, the stand was carefully burned in 1998 and 2000. In future years some mature seedtrees may be removed to encourage additional regeneration, but a canopy of mature trees will remain here indefinitely.
