Improved Tree Health

Selectively thinning for genetically healthier trees creates a stronger and more robust forest. Characteristics of a strong tree include a single stem, good cone development, a straight trunk, no presence of rot or damage and a healthy, full top. Healthier trees have a better the chance of surviving drought conditions.

Easier Access

Creating a healthy forest involves proper tree spacing and clearing out unneeded dead and downed on the forest floor. This also carries the benefit of easier access while walking through your forest. The danger of falling dead trees is reduced increasing your safety while enjoying the trees. A healthy forest also allows for increased access for wildlife to take advantage of the improved habitat that is created.

Future Generations

We must realize that a forest is a living ecosystem that is continuously changing. Creating a single age or species forest is asking for disaster. A healthy forest stand should have a mixture of young and old growth trees of various species if possible. A diverse forest ecosystem will be ready for various ailments that come and go throughout its life, creating a forest that can be enjoyed for many generations.

Forest Health Benefits

Manage for tomorrow. Sometimes our clients hate to cut even one green tree down, and we understand the feeling. Although, in forest health matters, sometimes less is more. Removing, via thinning, some of the competing trees, this helps the remaining trees grow big and strong. In some ways this process resembles the natural process of wildfire, which would burn just the understory during a low intensity fire.
