Timber Stand Improvement
Timber stand improvement, or TSI, is a great way to increase the monetary, aesthetic, and wildlife value of your property. We specialize in doing TSI efficiently while still meeting landowner objectives!
Prescribed Fire
Fire was once used by Native Americans and Early settlers as an extremely effective way to clear brush, increase game populations and promote edible plants and berries. Today, prescribed burns are seeing a resurgence as people are once again realizing the massive benefits of fire on certain ecosystems as well as its use as a wildfire hazard reduction tool. We prioritize safely conducting burns to help acheive your goals. Call for more info on our prescribed burn program!
Wildlife Cuts
Many wildlife species benefit from creating openings in the forest canopy: increased sunlight allows new growth in a once shaded understory. We can help you improve the wildlife habitat on your property by implementing strategies proven to increase the available food and cover for your target species. Call for more info!
Brush Mulching
Brush mulching is a practice that can benefit you in many ways, from efficiently removing invasive species to reducing fuel loads to mitigate wildfire risk, brush mulching is powerful tool in the land managers tool box.
Trail Maintenance/Creation
Trails allow you to easily access all corners of your property. We use a combination of hand tools and larger equipment to make accessing your property easy.
Low Impact Logging
If you want to tap into the value of your timber but don't want heavy machinery causing erosion and soil compaction, ask us about low impact logging. We use hand felling and small tractors along with sustainable sylvicultural methods to reduce the long-term impact of a timber harvest on your property. Additionally, less heavy equipment means less overhead for us and more money in your pocket!
