Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) operations are utilized to improve the health of an existing stand and/or control undesired plant species, forest pests such as insects, and forest diseases that degrade the health and, in turn, marketability of forestlands. TSI operations have the ability to not only preserve the investment that is your forest property and the timber growing therein, but also to further expand its potential for economic yields.

• Pre-Commercial thinning of young pine plantations
• Commercial Thinning of more mature pine plantations
• Crop Tree Release
  • • Mechanical – Accomplished through the use of machinery and/or hand tools
  • • Chemical – Accomplished through the use of forest-approved pesticides
  • • Non-Forested Areas
• Insect & Disease Control

In many cases, Timber Stand Improvement can be used to preserve or greatly increase the value of your forest investment. An HFC Forester can write a personalized prescription for your forest stand that will meet your long-term objectives.
