In your garden you don't want weeds dominating your flowers, fruits and vegetables. The weeds will rob your crops from valuable sunlight, space to grow and necessary nutrients within the soil. The same holds true for your forest. Invasive species and low-grade trees act as "weeds" to your forest land by crowding and choking the more high-valuable and native tree species. These "weeds" damage your valuable trees and restrict their growth. Selective timber harvesting can assist in maximizing your forest overall health and value. Legendary Landworks LLC has extensive experience in this form of harvesting. Along with a credited forester, we work directly with you to create a specific "prescription cut" to accommodate your forest needs as well as your desires.
Hemlock and beech are just a few examples of low-grade "weed" trees. These tree species grow 10x as fast as your harder, high-value tree species therefore their removal is crucial to ensuring diversification and the growth of high-value trees within your forest.
Each harvest should be dependent on your tree species and age. Establishing a harvest plan is a crucial step in maintaining your forests overall health and insuring the value of your land investment prospers. Periodic cutting of mature trees will open up the canopy and allow more sunlight to pass through to younger trees and seeds. Legendary Landworks ensures that each prescription harvest maintains "seed trees" to provide your forest with future growth!
SCHEDULE:
Each harvest needs to be planned in advance according to your properties soil and location. Weather conditions also contribute to scheduling each harvest. In certain locations timber harvesting activities are only permitted within specific time periods due to mammals as well.
