Reforestation Services

To ensure sustainable outcomes, Timber Works carefully manages timber harvests. Specifically, our responsible of tree replanting, plan-based harvesting targets mature, high-value timber, fostering natural forest regeneration without always requiring reforestation. In addition, we maintain sufficient canopy to prevent invasive species, such as Honeysuckle, from disrupting the ecosystem.

However, in cases like large-scale Ash tree removals due to the Emerald Ash Borer, tree replanting may be necessary to restore the canopy. Similarly, landowners seeking specific species compositions may choose reforestation to meet their goals. As a result, Timber Works offers professional reforestation services, including log road reseeding and top removal, to support healthy forest ecosystems.For example, we leave sufficient canopy to prevent invasive species, such as Honeysuckle, from taking hold.

However, reforestation or tree replanting may be necessary in specific cases. For instance, when a timber stand has a high percentage of Ash trees removed due to the Emerald Ash Borer, the canopy loss can allow invasive species to thrive. Similarly, landowners concerned about future species composition may request tree replanting to achieve their goals.

To support healthy forest regeneration, Timber Works provides professional reforestation services, including log road reseeding to prevent soil erosion and optional top removal. Although we rarely recommend interventions, we tailor our tree replanting efforts to ensure robust canopy restoration or to transition a stand to a desired timber composition.

In summary, while forests typically self-regenerate after our harvests, Timber Works offers expert reforestation services to address unique challenges and enhance long-term forest health.
