Key Components of Our Forest Management Services
Take advantage of our comprehensive range of services to manage and enhance your land's natural resources.
Timber Harvesting & Logging
Proper timber management is essential in maintaining a steady income from your land investment. This service is frequently used to help our customers afford the land they’ve bought, make additional income and ultimately clear areas that are overgrown on their property.
Timber harvesting is also beneficial to the wildlife that lives on the land. When done properly, timber harvesting is a great way to encourage the growth and regeneration of desirable tree species in your forest for the future. Put your forest in good hands with experienced forest managers!
Specialized Horse/Mule Logging
Certain logging sites require a more delicate method of harvesting than traditional skidding using heavy equipment. That is why we offer mule logging services. While this type of harvest is unsuitable for all logging sites, it is a great option for smaller jobs or sensitive areas.
Vegetation Management
Herbicide applications are important for proper forest management because they help to control invasive plants and maintain a healthy forest. Oftentimes, poorly executed timber sales or other disturbances can lead to problems with undesirable vegetation, which outcompetes native tree regeneration. Invasive plants are not good food for wildlife and severely damage your forest's future value. In order to ensure the growth of desirable tree species, consider an herbicide treatment! If you have any questions about invasive plants on your property, feel free to contact us today!
How Our Forestry Management Process Helps Preserve Nature
At Beiler's Sawmill, we blend traditional and modern methods to manage your land. Here's how our comprehensive tree logging and forestry management process unfolds:
- Initial consultation: We work to gain an in-depth understanding of your specific forestry goals.
- Site evaluation: Our team conducts a detailed assessment of your property to determine your land's status.
- Planning and strategy: We develop a customized timber harvesting strategy using the most suitable logging method.
- Execution: Our skilled loggers carry out the timber harvesting with care and efficiency.
- Post-harvest management: We restore and seed skid trails and landings to prevent soil erosion. The vegetation is restored naturally through regeneration from the existing seed bank already in the ground and the timber harvest releases this by allowing sunlight and nutrients to reach the forest floor.
Our approach to tree logging and forestry management supports your land's productivity and overall health.
Benefits of Logging Your Land
Here is what you can expect when you make Beiler's Sawmill your logging company for a land-clearing project:
- Competitive compensation: We're typically interested in areas with 50 trees or more. We're willing to travel to locations throughout PA, NJ, DE and MD for quality timber.
- More navigable land: Logging can be beneficial to clear areas of trees and unwanted vegetation for areas on your land that are becoming increasingly difficult to navigate. Whether you're using your land for hunting or casual strolls with your dog, our logging services can help make your land more navigable.
- Healthy wildlife habitats: PA Forests provide a home to over 400 species of birds and wild mammals. A well-maintained forest can provide many benefits to the wildlife residing there. Young, fresh habitats mixed with mature habitats can increase biodiversity for animals that thrive in specific habitats.
