A private landowner should consider doing timber stand improvement (TSI) for several reasons. Firstly, TSI can help improve the health and productivity of their forested land by removing diseased or low-quality trees and promoting the growth of healthy and high-value species. This can lead to increased timber yields and potential income from forest products. Additionally, TSI can enhance wildlife habitat by creating a more diverse forest structure and promoting the growth of understory vegetation. It can also reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires by reducing fuel loads and promoting fire-resistant tree species. Overall, TSI can benefit both the landowner and the ecosystem by promoting sustainable forest management practices.
Timberland Consulting thins the lower-quality trees from the forest, allowing higher-quality hardwoods more room, additional light, and adequate nutrients to grow. This process will increase the land owners' ROI on their timber investment and make for a higher-quality forest.

Non-native invasive weeds degrade our native forests and ecosystems. They provide little value to native wildlife and, in many cases, can take over and decrease the growth of our forests!
We are highly experienced in eliminating non-native invasive weeds that degrade our native forests and ecosystems. We use mechanical and chemical methods to control invasive plants in the forest. We are licensed Cat 2 applicators and employ professionals knowledgeable in plant ID.
Forestry mulching is an efficient way to clear the underbrush and unwanted vegetation in the forest. This allows your desireable hardwoods more room to grow and flourish. We use compact, high-horsepower machines, that will remove unwanted trees, brush, and vines. Our process will grind the cleared vegetation, leaving a layer of mulch on the forest floor. This mulch will provide erosion control, reintroduce nutrients back into the soil, and protect the topsoil, making it functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Do you need forestry mulching services? We utilize compact, high-hp, track-driven skid steers with minimal footprint and minor compaction during the process. We own multiple cutting attachments to help meet your needs. Our services can be used to clear invasive species, create wildlife openings that allow for more nutritious plant material to grow, or efficiently create pathways throughout the woods. Contact us today to learn more about our forestry services, the mulching process, and how we can improve your forest.
Whether you are looking at starting something new, reforestation, or managing a large parcel of land, Timberland Consulting can help get you growing. Our tree planting services range from large-scale projects for which we use a tractor and an automated tree planter that efficiently can plant acres of trees at a time to small-scale projects that may be in difficult areas where we plant by hand. Tree planting projects are planned out, and bare-root saplings are planted at the appropriate times of the year. Tree tubes can be installed for added protection. They provide protection from mechanical and wildlife damage as well as increase the growth rates of the seedlings.

Private landowners should consider doing prescribed burns as a means of managing their property for a variety of reasons. Prescribed burns can promote the growth of native vegetation, increase habitat diversity, and improve overall ecosystem health. Prescribed burns can also enhance wildlife habitat by stimulating the growth of fresh, nutrient-rich forage. By implementing prescribed burns, private landowners can play a vital role in protecting their property and surrounding ecosystems while also reaping the benefits of improved land management practices.
