Webinar information

Pioneer Forest is a private working forest owned by the L-A-D Foundation. It was assembled by founder, Leo Drey beginning in 1951. The forest stretches across 6 Missouri Ozark counties and totals over 144,000 acres. The property is nearly all timberland dominated by oaks, hickories, and shortleaf pine. Since Leo's acquisition, the forest has been managed using uneven-aged single tree selection. This method has been successfully implemented on the forest for over 70 years. Beginning in 1952, a continuous forest inventory (CFI) was established on the forest. The CFI helps track long-term trends on the forest, including standing volume, growth per acre, and species composition. Join Brandon Kuhn, Chief Forester for Pioneer Forest, as he discusses the history and challenges of managing this uneven-aged forest.
