Whether you are interested in reforesting your land following a timber harvest, or establishing trees in a previously unforested area, Henderson Forestry Consultants can assist you in ensuring that you make the best possible selections of species, seedling type, seedling genetics, planting spacing, and planting method.
HFC uses demonstrably effective silvicultural systems and over 30 years of experience to plan and execute successful site preparation and regeneration methods. Since 1984, HFC has successfully planted over 70,000 acres with over 1,000,000 trees planted every year. Due to the length of time required to grow forest products, many forestland owners disregard the importance of proper reforestation considerations, and inadvertently lengthen the time it takes for their trees to reach maturity. Let us assist you in establishing a forest of healthy, vigorous, and fast-growing trees.
In even-aged forest management (all the trees in a forest are the same age), there are two primary regeneration techniques used to establish a stand of timber:
To determine the system that best suits the reforestation goals for your property, many factors must be considered. Among these variables are the species composition the site previously held, the desired species to be established, economic considerations, onsite soil series’ site index ratings, the intended purpose of the forest, and availability, quantity, and quality of local seed sources.
HFC has extensive experience in applying both artificial and natural regeneration techniques for various tree species and on a wide range of soil types. From upland loblolly pine hand planting on cutover sites, longleaf pine establishment in abandoned fields, and hardwood planting in creek and river bottoms, we will write a prescription that meets both your needs.
