Forest Health Restoration
A healthy forest is one in which native plant and tree species and wildlife flourish. North American forests are fire-adapted ecosystems. As a result of a century of fire suppression, many forests have become overcrowded and are susceptible to wildfire, insects, disease and invasions of nonnative species.
Markit! Forestry has completed a number of projects to help restore fire-adapted land and reduce a variety of forest threats. Markit! has applied both mechanical and handwork methods to reduce forest density for habitat vitality and ecosystem renewal.
