Harvesting
Sustainable forest management involves learning about and monitoring how harvesting activities affect the forest ecosystem and surrounding communities.
Harvest Residue
Harvest residue, or slash, refers to the branches, needles, and log chucks left over after a timber harvest. Most states have laws regulating how to manage post-harvest residues to reduce fire hazards.
Reforestation/Afforestation
Planning for site regeneration post-harvest should start before the first tree is cut. Forest Practice Act laws in most states mandate site reforestation within a specified timeframe following harvest.
Visual Quality Management
Timber harvest operations often cause dramatic visual impacts on the forest landscape and surrounding area. Learn about the importance of visual quality management and how to manage the aesthetic effect of your harvest operation.
