Sustainable Forestry

Sustainable use of the forest is a forest harvested at the rate it can regenerate (the process of growing back what has been lost).

Selective Tree Harvesting

Selective Tree Harvesting is the use of specialized equipment to harvest selected trees within a forest based on criteria, such as diameter, height, or species. A forest will remain, even after being harvested and the wildlife habitat is left intact.

These machines may look impressive however, they are designed to have low soil and environmental impact, especially combined with the practice of Sustainable Forestry. Minimal equipment is needed to complete a project. A Forwarder and Harvester is all that is needed and paired with Self Loading Logging Trucks, you have a fraction of the equipment used in traditional forestry.
