Enhancing Long-Term Forest Health

Our sustainable practices focus on maintaining long-term forest health by selectively harvesting timber and removing dead trees, which can impede new growth. This active management is designed to promote a diverse age structure and improve the vitality of tree species, ensuring the forest’s resilience against pests, diseases, and fire.

Supporting Family-Owned Businesses

As a family-owned business committed to sustainable practices, we prioritize forming exceptional partnerships with other private landowners and local businesses. These collaborations help to bolster local economies and maintain the heritage of family ownership in managing and benefiting from natural resources responsibly.

Utilizing Best Management Practices

Our harvesting techniques are guided by the best management practices developed in consultation with environmental experts and regulatory bodies. This ensures that every harvest operation maximizes resource efficiency, minimizes environmental impact, and aligns with the latest sustainability standards to manage natural resources effectively.

Common Issues for Timber Harvesting

Environmental Impact

Timber harvesting can significantly impact ecosystems if not managed carefully, potentially leading to habitat destruction and biodiversity loss.

We utilize selective cutting techniques that minimize environmental disruption. This method allows us to selectively remove mature, diseased, or poorly positioned trees while preserving the undergrowth and younger trees, maintaining biodiversity and forest structure.

Regulatory Compliance

Adhering to the strict regulations set forth by environmental agencies can be complex, especially in national forests with stringent oversight.

Our active management is designed to comply with all regulations specific to national forests. We ensure all practices meet the standards set by the national and state forest services, maintaining a strong alignment with legal and environmental guidelines.

Efficient Use of Forest Products

Maximizing the yield and quality of forest products such as timber trusses while ensuring sustainability can be challenging.

We implement advanced harvesting techniques and conduct thorough planning to optimize the extraction and use of forest products. This ensures high-quality output like timber trusses while promoting forest regeneration.
