Best Management Practices

​​

Trees, like any other crop, should be thinned as needed and harvested when mature.  Harvesting is a very important and necessary part of a sound woodland resource management plan.  A properly planned and implemented harvest operation will maintain and enhance your woodland’s ability to provide a sustained yield of multiple use benefits.  Careful planning, preparation, administration and supervision of a harvest operation can minimize long term disturbances to your woodland’s resources while maximizing your short and long term benefits.  Enforcement of best management practices during harvest operations will protect timber reserves and wildlife habitats, conserve soil and protect water quality.  We work for you.

Planning

​​

What are your ownership objectives?  Common examples include a healthy woodland,  sustained yield of timber crops, wildlife habitats, aesthetics, recreational uses and income.  Your objectives and the current woodland resources on your property are the foundation for short and long term management decisions.  We will discuss this information with you and provide management/harvest options for your consideration and approval.  Usually, we are able to implement practices that will satisfy multiple short and long term objectives.  We work for you.
