Home-Harvesting

Avoid Disaster With the Help of New Wave Forestry

Woodlots that lay empty and unattended, overtime will start to grow over, get blown down, rot and potentially even catch fire. Left unattended or ignored it can cost you your investment for now and for the future.

But, this is avoidable with a specially designed management plan that has been tailored to your goals and objectives.

Selection Management

A method of harvesting that encourages an un-even aged stand, by selectively removing single trees or groups of trees that are pre-dominantly over mature or contain no commercial value. The resulting stand creates openings that are suited for the regeneration of shade tolerant, long-living species. This method of harvesting allows for a continued, sustainable harvest every 10-20 years by maintaining several age classes at every harvest cycle.
