Natural Regeneration
In a sustainable forest, natural regeneration of a broad variety of native tree species is helped by:
Natural Seeding
Some seeds are gathered and propagated in a nursery, but seedlings are replanted in the areas from which their seeds originated for greater health and strength.
Selective Felling
Forests are studied to ensure trees are felled from areas that will benefit from increased light and water penetration (through the canopy).
A variety of ages of tree are taken to ensure nature’s balance is maintained.
All trees are tagged and traced for forest and yield management.
Heli-lifting
Logs are removed by air-lift to avoid damage to the forest floor and the first nutrient rich layers of soil.
