Land Between The Lakes Tree Thining
KENTUCKY...
Federal forest managers at Land Between the Lakes want to remove hardwood trees significantly damaged in the 2009 ice storm.
The U.S. Forest Service is seeking public comment on a plan to cut damaged trees at two places in the recreation area. The aim is to improve wildlife habitat.
LBL forester Dennis Wilson says the plan calls for removing about 40 percent of the hardwood trees in the areas.
The locations are about 250 acres each. One is along the northern side of Road 118 near Craven's Bay. The other is several spots along Jenny Ridge Road, Ironton Road and The Trace in Trigg County.
Wilson said hardwoods that lost most of their canopy to the freezing rain would be taken down
