How to Get the Most Out of Your Timber Harvesting in Pennsylvania

If you’ve had land or have recently acquired land with wooded areas, you may be thinking about harvesting your timber, especially if you live in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is known for its beautiful forests which attract wildlife.  When these trees go through their life cycle and are harvested, they also provide shelter for humans looking to build or renovate their homes. 

Wondering where to get started when it comes to harvesting timber in Pennsylvania? Green Ridge Forest Products has you covered. 

At Green Ridge Forestry, we don't just chop timber. We partner with homeowners, sellers, and buyers to complement the rich life cycle of timber growth, harvesting, and replanting.

1. Book a consultation

When it comes to forest management, taking the time to contact a professional is the first step before you start cutting and harvesting trees on your own. 

The reason this step is so important goes back to the life cycle of timber growth. Our team of experts know just what to look for when harvesting timber and knows how to get you the most benefit out of your forest by building a solid plan of action. 

In addition, the process of cutting and harvesting trees is not an easy one. Some larger trees may require special attention, and some may not be ready to be harvested just yet. The goal is to allow your forest to continue to grow while removing vegetation that may be hindering its growth. 

2. Implement timber management solutions

Once our team of professionals is able to set foot in your woods and decide what the best plan of action is, they’ll likely give you advice. This advice can make all the difference in harvesting your timber. 

Be sure you’re taking advice on maintaining and nourishing the timber in your forest. This could include things to look out for in your forest, smaller trees or vegetation to remove, or even how to identify a diseased tree. These tips can add years onto your timber harvesting efforts, so be sure to make time for these efforts.
