There is a wide array of legitimate objectives to consider when planning a timber harvest. The objectives of a timber harvest often include but are not limited to preventing soil erosion, providing quality saw-timber, pulpwood, firewood and other wood products and improving the overall quality and future potential of the woods. Since every piece of timber is unique, there is no one forest-management plan that works best in all situations. That is why it is so essential to allow a reputable logging company that serves Clinton County and all of PA to help develop a plan with you and help you make an informed decision about the future of your timber. At A.M. Logging, we can do just that.
There should be many benefits of a properly executed timber harvest, including:
Improved forest health. 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.
Wildlife benefits. 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.
Forest products. 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.
Our professionals know how to encourage future growth. High densities of trees mean 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.
These are just some of the many benefits of a timber harvest when performed by a professional logging company like A.M. Logging. Allow us to help with your forestland goals.
