Timber Harvesting

Ecological forestry management for the future includes the sound planning and execution of timber harvesting projects.  State and Federal agencies, towns, cities and landowners have achieved their forestry stewardship goals for future generations through mechanical forest thinning and timber harvesting operations.

Timber harvesting benefits the forest in numerous ways, including the following:

1. Improving Forest Stand Health – Increased tree spacing creates conditions in forest stands that are less favorable for disease, pestilence, and the stress of drought.
2. Reducing the Risk of High Intensity Wildfire – Mechanical fuel treatments reduce ladder fuels, canopy bulk density, and increase the torching and crowning index on large-scale landscape projects.
3. Increasing Stand Resiliency - Forest thinning through timber harvesting promotes diversity of tree species, age classes, and spatial forest stand patterns that encourage healthy forest stand heterogeneity.
4. Improving Wildlife Habitat – Reduction of forest stand densities encourages grass and forb growth, which has a positive impact on all aspects of the wildlife ecosystem, from small game, to birds of prey, to big game.
