Harvesting Timber the Right Way: Responsible Forestry for Generations to Come

Responsible timber harvesting contributes to sustainable forestry by maintaining healthy forests, promoting biodiversity, and ensuring long-term timber availability while minimizing environmental impact. Our harvesting methods include:

• Single Tree Selection: This type of timber harvest is also known as "thinning." We use paint to mark trees that are to be harvested, and all others are left standing. We most commonly employ this single-tree harvesting method in hardwood stands with trees that are unevenly aged, which is common in areas of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire that have not been harvested before or in some time.
• Shelterwood: This method of timber harvesting leaves scattered large mature trees in the overstory while everything else is removed. We utilize this harvest method in those forest stands where previous "high-grade" harvests (cut the best, leave the rest) have taken place. The mature trees left behind act as seed sources for future forest growth. We use this forest management method on some of the oak-forested parcels in New Hampshire and "degraded" hardwood stands in Vermont.
• Patch Cuts: For patch cuts, small groups of trees that are anywhere from 1/10 to 1/4 in size are removed. These groups are spread across the parcel either evenly or randomly, depending on the forest type. All trees in the groups are harvested. We utilize this method on forested parcels where improved wildlife habitat ( particularly ruffed grouse/woodcock) is a client objective. This is also employed in mature, evenly aged hardwood stands - commonly found on forest lands in Vermont and Maine.
