I assume that all the trees would have to come down and be removed to replant?

That unit of young, fried reprod across the draw in the picture will simply be planted, and the dead reprod will be left standing. There not big enough to cause many problems as they decay and fall over/crumble.

Doesn't look like there is much alive in that soil. How is the replanting going on sites like these? Too early to tell maybe. Do they plant with stock that is innoculated with beneficial fungi?

I’m not sure about the beneficial fungi. I know the planters like some of it to a point, because there is less slash and brush.
This area of Oregon has had plenty of burned ground similar to this planted in this past, and quite a few places grow back quite well. Douglas fir can benefit from a burn to a point.

Maybe you need to feed him more fiber?

One of the old-time guys I worked with at the company gave his dogs beer once in a while. He had two dogs that would come out to the brush
with us, and if it was a hot day and they'd been running around a lot, he's crack open a Hamm's for them. I don't know if that's good for a dog or not.

It has always happened when I haven’t taken him to work in a while. It’s probably his revenge. I haven’t been taking him up Thunder Mountain, because he’s a bit of a safety hazard on that steep, rocky ground.

Any stuff left sidehill for erosion mitigation?
Click to expand...

We did a bunch of that on the big fires up in Washington a few years ago. They were stand-replacement fires so DNR had us falling lines of trees side hill every fifty feet all the way up the mountain.

It helps in some areas but if it's a long, steep slope where the water can really gain some speed, it doesn't do as much.

I have seen logs placed along the contour at times for that reason, but I doubt they will do that here. There should be a decent layer of slash and whatnot to help out.

That area you're in doesn't look to have burned so hot that it sterilized the soil. A few areas did do that on the Douglas Complex - even now, there's not much vegetation on some of those slopes.
