Woody residue treatment reduces or otherwise addresses the management of woody plant residues created during forestry, agroforestry, or horticultural activities, or resulting from natural disasters. This video explores how Joe Begay implemented this practice in Castle Dale, Utah. Practice benefits:
• Reduces wildfire hazard
• Improves access to forage
• Improves soil organic matter retention
• Reduces risk of disease and insects
• Improves site conditions
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.
