Timber Stand Improvement
A Timber Stand
Improvement, or TSI, is a forest
management technique that involves
thinning the forest under,
mid, and sometimes overstory. Long
Fo restry
performs high quality timber stand
improvement. Our
TSI projects are conducted to
meet landowner objectives and to be
silviculturally sustainable.
All stumps are cut flat and close
to the ground.
We do not leave waist high stumps
or angled stumps that could puncture a
skidder or ATV tire.
Not only is this logger friendly
but also allows for the development of
desirable stump sprouts and provides our
client with visually pleasing forests.
We do stress the need for snags
and den trees, and when they are not
present, we create them.
When we do create a wildlife
tree, it is a large tree that will
benefit the stand for years to come.
They are spread out across the
forested stand to create as few overhead
hazards as possible.
We are not afraid to work and we
do the job right. The TSI technique that
is used depends on the forest type and
what the future goals are for the
forest. |
