S.7 Ep.3: The Old-Growth Project
Episode 3
Saturday, 28 February, 2026
Many of us in forestry remember the spotted owl controversy of the 1980s — a pivotal moment that put old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest in the national spotlight. But what’s less often told is how that same moment sparked a wave of old-growth research here in the Lake States, launching more than three decades of work to better understand how old-growth northern hardwood forests differ from those we actively manage. In this episode of SilviCast, we sit down with Julia Burton, Associate Professor of Silviculture at Michigan Technological University, to explore what we’ve learned from that research — and how those insights are shaping the future of northern hardwood forest management.
