Management Approaches
Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) has received little management emphasis except in the past 10 years. Silvicultural treatment of whitebark pine is starting to draw increased interest as attention is focused on the species and its potential management. The objective of this paper is to summarize what is currently known about the silvicultural management of the species. There has been little written concerning silvicultural treatment in whitebark pine stands; however, there are some inferences that can be drawn by examining specific examples. These examples will be used to demonstrate that information does exist and that these existing data will probably need to be used to guide management while additional data are gathered and understanding is gained.
