Planting Sitka Spruce and Western Redcedar in the Same Hole to Mitigate Browsing Damage

This article describes an original approach to mitigating wildlife predation of young western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) seedlings in plantations in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. This method was developed by the author through direct observation while managing reforestation projects on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State and British Columbia over many years. In the author’s experience, this method has proven to be cost effective and environmentally sound.
