Whatever the reason for a Timber Harvest, there are a variety of benefits to each when performed by professional loggers. The term ‘logging’ has many connotations but did you know it also can encourage the growth and development of younger of trees? And, it is a very important practice that provides healthy forests as well as the sustainable production of timber. At A.M. Logging, we provide land clearing, timber harvesting, excavating and chipping/grinding services for central Pennsylvania. We strive to provide quality workmanship while preserving our forests and the environment. We serve the private sector, agricultural and commercial industries, and government entities. As the expert loggers for Central PA, we’d like to tell you more about harvesting as well as how it can benefit the environment, the community and much more. 
For one, a timber harvest can help improve the health of a forest. This is referred to as silviculture, which is the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health and quality of forests and woodlands. During a Timber Harvest, the dead, dying and diseased trees are removed, thus preventing the spread of the fungi or bacteria which may damage other parts of the forest.
A Timber Harvest can also benefit wildlife. There are certain methods of timber harvesting that seek to improve the health of the stand in ways that attract more wildlife. These often produce sizable payouts to the landowner while also enhancing the forestland for wild game. Our professionals know the best way to perform this type of harvest to encourage and attract local wildlife.
Our professional’s also know how to encourage future growth. High densities of trees means there will be more competition for a limited amount of nutrition. Thinning the forest distributes these resources to the most valuable stems. A Timber Harvest allows younger healthy trees to grow and flourish.
Here at A.M. Logging we strive to manage our forests and environment wisely for future generations to enjoy. We use fully mechanized equipment and the best forestry techniques available. We work closely with DCNR Bureau of Forestry, the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Nature Conservancy to ensure we are following the best practices to preserve our forests and the environment.
Forest products are also an incredible source for any number of human needs such as providing construction materials, flooring wood, furniture, fuel and other kinds of commodities. From the logs for lumber to pulpwood for paper, you can be sure the trees taken from your Pennsylvania property will be put to good use.
These are just some of the many benefits of a Timber Harvest when performed by professional loggers. Whatever benefits you are interested in for your property, at A.M.
