Many forests in the west have gone unmanaged for many years. Wildfire is nature’s way of thinning the forest to encourage new growth. With the introduction of human presence in the forested landscapes we are very weary of wildfire and for good reason. Without wildfire we need to be good stewards of the land and manage the forest ourselves. Selective thinning is the most effective resource available to improve the forest’s overall health.
Many factors must be considered when thinning trees in any environment. We take into consideration vegetation and soil types, erosion issues, wildlife habitat, drainage and access. Thinning the dead, dying and weak trees out of the forest stand increases available water, sun and nutrients for the residual trees, improving their overall health.
