NJ Audubon property cut
Seed tree cut very close to headwaters of Russia Brook, a category 1 stream. The Highlands Act requires 300 foot buffers from all waters, but forest stewardship plans are exempt.
Northwest of Edison Bog (2 photos)
A shelterwood cut on a peak northwest of Edison Bog (just west of the Edison Bog North cut). Shelterwood cuts take 50% of the trees initially, then the remaining 50% later.
