Tree and Shrub Pruning is the removal of selected branches, leaders, or roots from trees and shrubs. This video explores how Bret Casperbauer worked with NRCS to implement this conservation practice on his forest in Clearwater County, Idaho.
Practice benefits:
• Improving shrub and tree health
• Reducing wildfire fuels
• Decreasing disease risk
• Reducing falling limbs hazard
• Promoting understory growth and diversity
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.
