Forest Stand Improvement, also called Timber Stand Improvement is implemented in one or 3-ways. The most common is Single Stem-Chemical followed by the Cut & Fell Method and last being Heavy Mechanical. HFMS is the leading firm in Northern Arkansas and South Missouri due to our superior experience and results. We take pride in our work and we implement this practice based upon your objectives for forestry and wildlife.
Forest Stand Improvement is basically like weeding out a flower bed with the exception of a larger scale, and dealing with a variety of woody species. However, if you are not knowledgeable in trees, one may have some trouble. When we implement these practices, we use trained foresters that know which trees to inject based upon composition and diameter-spacing. Once we are completed, you will have a healthy stocking of wildlife and forestry type species. Please call us today for a quote and we have also installed a Eastern Red Cedar removal program as well.
