Forest trails and landings are installed and maintained for infrequent access to conduct management activities such as forest stand improvement, pruning, fire suppression, or harvest of forest products. This video explores how Randy Nolen implemented this practice in Freedom, New Hampshire. Practice benefits:
• Allows periodic access to a forest
• Prevents erosion
• Preserves water quality
• Opportunity to connect to property
• Provides wildlife food and cover
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
