  1. Creating Snags for Wildlife Rebecca Cahall FS 533 March 15, 2007

  2. Where are the snags? • Limited in forested landscapes • Management effects

  3. Creating snags • Herbicide • Inoculation with fungi • Girdling • Pheromone baiting • Topping • Saw or explosive

  4. Success = Effective + Used

  5. And the best method for creating snags • Topping trees below live crown • Improvements? • ~Combine topping with pheromone baiting
