D-100. Disposal of undesirable hemlock by felling and piling for burning. D-99 As an alternate method, hemlock 10 inches and over was girdled and trees less than 10 inches felled and the slash burned. View shows the girdling and the stump of a smaller tree cut. The purpose of both methods is to remove undesirable species and to open up the stand sufficiently to permit the establishment of white pine reproduction.
