PURPOSE

Environmental Benefits of Timber Harvesting
Besides the financial incentives, there are also numerous environmental reasons why having the local timber harvested can be an intelligent decision. Timber harvesting thins out the mature trees which can promote growth, quality, and health of the younger trees. This process helps prevent the spread of disease and pest infestations that can threaten plant life. Other reasons include: improving the habitat for natural wildlife, encouraging health and biodiversity of plants and animals, reducing likelihood of wildfires, decreasing possible dangers associated with dead wood, and an overall reduction in community costs related to timber management risk factors.
