Forest Management & Timber Harvesting

Can logging be good for my forest?

While timber harvesting can be done in ways that are harmful to forests, it can also be done in ways that are regenerative and restorative — helping forests heal from the wounds of the past and move into a better future. The difference between timber harvesting that is helpful, and timber harvesting that is harmful, is incredibly nuanced — requiring an in-depth understanding of both forest ecosystems and logging operations.
