They mimic natural events like wildfires and windstorms by using controlled burning and heavy-duty machines to knock back older growth and stimulate the dense regrowth of trees and shrubs. They plant native shrubs for food and cover. Clearcut logging is a great way to create young-forest habitat; almost immediately, woodcock start using the cut-over areas.
