Pennsylvania is fortunate to have 58 percent of its land covered with forests. That is a lot of trees! Forests are dynamic and always changing and in many cases the changes they experience threaten their health. That is where silviculture and timber harvesting comes in. Here at A.M. Logging we utilize silviculture in our timber harvesting for Blair County and the great state of Pennsylvania to ensure healthy stands throughout.
There are many cases in which land owners require timber harvesting. By understanding the requirements of various tree species for their best performance on a given site, timber harvesting can be used to weed and thin the forest in order to establish a healthier stand. At A.M. Logging we are about the preservation of our local forests. 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.
At A.M. Logging we work to continuously improve our methods and our ethical bases remains unchanged. We are committed to detail and excellence for every timber harvesting project we complete. Contact us today to learn about timber harvesting as well as the many other services we provide.
Reasons for Timber Harvesting
At A.M. Logging, we ask questions that help us understand your unique forestland goals. From there we recommend the right solution. There are several factors that come into play when contemplating a timber harvest. Some reasons include:
- Benefiting wildlife. This timber harvesting method seeks to improve the health of the stand in ways that attract more grouse, turkeys and deer. These often produce sizable payouts to the landowner while also enhancing the land for wild game.
- Improve the health of the stand. This is called silviculture, which is the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health and quality of woodlands.
- Diseased trees. The most unfortunate type of timber harvesting occurs when stands have been damaged by disease, pests or weather, resulting with goals to clean up the mess and prevent further damage.
Whatever the reason for your property’s timber harvesting, we will work to provide the best results possible. When you’re interested in responsible timber harvesting for your property, contact the experts at A.M. Logging to learn more.
