Young Growth Management of Giant Sequoia 1

Giant sequoia is an outstanding candidate species for management for a variety of reasons, including the production of wood products. This species combines fast growth with high quality wood production, and it should be considered as an alternative when planting new forests, replacing old, or managing those begun in previous eras. The biology and ecology of giant sequoia has been addressed in other papers in this proceedings as well as in recent publications (Hartesveldt and others 1975; Weatherspoon 1985). This paper attempts to put this information into a management context, with particular emphasis on goals which may be accomplished through manipulation.
