- Wikipedia, Dec. 21, 2006(under Silviculture: Common Silvicultural Regeneration Methods: Shelterwood - The removal of trees in a series of cuts to establish new forest reproduction under the shelter of the retained seed trees. The main difference between the shelterwood and seed tree methods is that the residual trees in a shelterwood alter the environmental conditions, such as sunlight, temperature, and moisture, for tree seedling growth, while the few retained trees in a seed tree method do not. Commonly the shelterwood method involves three cuts: Preparatory cut; Establishment cut; Removal cut)

Wikipedia description:
Shelterwood cutting removes part of the old forest stand to allow for a natural establishment of seedlings under the cover of the remaining trees. Initial cuttings give just enough light to allow for the regeneration of desired species. Subsequent cuttings give the new seedlings more light and fully pass the growing space to the new generation. Shelterwood systems have many variations and can be adapted to site conditions and the goals of the landowner. There are concerns associated with this silvicultural system due to windthrow and high costs as well as advantages due to improved aesthetics and cost savings from natural regeneration.
