Timber sales are a major event in forest management. Done right, a timber sale can set up
a forest for healthy and robust future growth, with benefits for future revenues, wildife habitat, watershed protection, and visual enhancement. Done wrong, a bad harvest can damage a forest's future for many years.
Vision Forestry is dedicated to creating forest harvests that are good for the forest as well as
the owner. This depends on a good harvest plan that meets all local and state regulations while responding to the unique situation in each forest.
