Wildfire Protection: Tree Thinning
Wildfires can cause devastating damage across broad swaps of land, and timberlands provide the perfect kindling to ramp up wildfires into large, difficulty-managed sections at the whim of the winds. Tree thinning involves cutting the understory of bigger trees. The understory is comprised of smaller trees that create ladders of fuel that act like kindling when a wildfire rolls through. Some other benefits include:
- Improve tree growth by reducing competition for resources and nutrients
- Increased forest health by removing diseased or dead trees that spread pests and diseases
- Improved wildlife habitats by creating open spaces and improving the light flow
- Increased economic value through healthier trees providing higher quality timber during harvesting
Our team will remove the understory and mulching as necessary. We recommend scheduling Fire Prevention Services on a 10-year rotation.
