Savannas, woodlands, and other open forest systems once occupied vast areas of North America where fire disturbance, at least in part, shaped their structure and composition. Many of those acres have been lost since the advent of fire exclusion and other land use changes.  Resource managers and landowners are trying to restore some of these systems for their ecological and economic value.  Foresters have a lot to offer.  But these are not your average silviculture prescriptions!  In this episode of SilviCast we explore the challenges of restoring and managing savanna and woodland systems with John Kabrick, Ph.D., Research Forester with the USFS Northern Research Station.
