Harvesting

Miller Timber Services specializes in advanced timber harvesting techniques, including Cut to Length (CTL) and Commercial Thinning. The CTL method enhances log yield by minimizing soil disturbance and eliminating the need for landings, using in-the-woods harvesters and forwarders to process and transport logs directly from the forest. This method not only maximizes the volume and quality of logs but also accelerates the decay of organic matter, contributing to the nutrient cycle and reducing soil compaction. Commercial Thinning involves selectively removing trees to improve forest health and growth, ensuring the remaining trees have adequate space and resources. This process is crucial for maintaining forest vitality and reducing wildfire risks, while also enhancing wildlife habitat and aesthetic value.
