Mack White Gap Pine Thinning Project

Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest Chattooga, Georgia Conasauga Ranger District

Stands found along Taylor’s Ridge were once cleared to harvest timber products and then planted back to loblolly pine. Today, these stands are very dense and over crowed which leads to competition among the trees for water and nutrients.

Location

Chattooga County, Georgia
