Markit!'s Approach to Timber Harvesting

Ecological forestry management for the future includes the sound planning and professional 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 – Enhanced tree spacing creates forest stands that mitigate conditions that lead to disease, pestilence, and drought stress.
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 forests.

​

​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.
