Project Background
The purpose of this project is to improve equipment to mechanically remove eastern red cedar trees, establish a grass management plan to prevent red cedar from returning, access the value of the trees and of mechanical removal over alternate methods, and use the wood as a product to offset some of the producer’s expenses – creating an added-value process to benefit producers.
