In this episode, Jacob Putney is joined by John Punches to discuss tips and regulations related to piling, managing and burning slash.
“Remember that when we burn we’re releasing heat and smoke into the atmosphere, and before we make the decision to burn, let’s think about what’s next to where those piles are.”
– John Punches, OSU Extension Forester in NE Oregon and Associate Professor in the Department of Forest Engineering, Resources and Management
