Because of the wide variation in forest types, stand size classes,
stocking levels and timber volumes which exist in Connecticut woodlands,
there are a variety of methods that can be used either singly or in
combination in harvesting and reforestation to meet the stated purpose.
These methods include clear-cutting with natural reproductions, direct
seeding or planting, seed tree cutting, selection cutting, including
diameter limit harvesting, shelterwood cutting, and such other methods
as shall be consistent with good forestry practice.
