Common Timber Stand Improvement Methods
Southeast Forestlands uses a number of tried-and-true timber stand improvement techniques to improve the health and productivity of your forest. We have been in the local industry for over 30 years, so our team has a keen eye for determining what your specific forest needs. After a meticulous assessment of your property, we consider thinning, which involves taking out the trees that are unhealthy or of lower quality timber to make way for high-quality timber trees. This reduces overcrowding and leaves more resources for the remaining trees to mature. Clearing and pruning is also a common TSI practice we use to remove excess foliage from the trees themselves and surrounding the trees. This acts to promote the overall health of your forest and improve the quality of your trees. Targeted herbicide application is another aspect used to control undesired vegetation. Prescribed burning helps promote the natural cycles of your forest, as well as prevents wildfires and reduces potential fuel for wildfires on your property.
Benefits of Timber Stand Improvement
In many cases, implementing just a few timber stand improvement strategies can make a vast difference in your timber sales and future timber harvest profits. Southeast Forestlands encourages many of our timberland owners to utilize TSIs to increase timber value. If conditions permit, thinning can help promote the growth of your carefully selected timber trees, accelerating their growth and maturity. By thinning out trees that are no longer thriving and clearing out brush and unwanted foliage, you also decrease the risk of wildfire. Another advantage of applying TSI practices is that the overall health of your forest and ecosystem is a natural result of the control of disease, pests, and invasive species that harm forests. This also can support the creation of an enhanced wildlife habitat, so that your entire ecosystem thrives in a completely natural way.
