00:00.170 --> 00:02.337
I'd like to talk to you today a little

00:02.337 --> 00:04.392
bit about our timber program here at

00:04.392 --> 00:06.559
West Point . Part of our mission is to

00:06.559 --> 00:06.309
manage natural resources and we , the

00:06.320 --> 00:08.039
way we do that is with timber

00:08.050 --> 00:10.272
harvesting now , while a timber harvest

00:10.272 --> 00:12.579
may look ugly at the beginning , once

00:12.590 --> 00:14.646
it's completed and you treat it with

00:14.646 --> 00:16.868
prescribed fire , you end up with a lot

00:16.868 --> 00:19.090
better habitat for wildlife and plus it

00:19.090 --> 00:20.190
gives great hunting opportunities .
