Wildlife Management
Improve your woods for deer and other wildlife through practical forest management techniques designed to create better habitat.
Making the Most of Your Woods
Timber is one of the most valuable resources on your property, but deciding when and how to harvest it can have a lasting impact on your woods. We help landowners better understand their timber and explore management options that make sense for their property.
Better Bedding & Browse
Hinge cutting can be used to create better bedding areas and additional browse for deer. For example, gum trees can be hinge cut to help create more cover and improve habitat within the woods.
By strategically managing certain areas of a property, landowners can improve the conditions wildlife use for bedding and feeding. The approach can be tailored to the existing woods and the type of habitat you want to create.
Improving Forest Conditions
Chop and drop can be used to open up sections of the woods and reallocate sunlight to better hardwoods. For example, birch trees may be used in this process to help direct more sunlight toward desirable trees.
These improvements can help change the conditions within the woods while focusing growth and sunlight on the areas and trees you want to encourage moving forward.
