Forest Technology
Improvements in technology have caused great advancements in our industry. Changes in computer technology have allowed to us to better track and manage both timber and non-timber resources on our lands. Bennett Lumber's Geographic Information and Global Positioning Systems are now part of our everyday forest management activities. Bennett Lumber also tracks forest inventory using specialized software. This allows us to make better management decisions for our company landholdings.
Technological improvements in harvesting equipment have yielded new systems that increase utilization and have low impacts on long term forest productivity. Bennett Lumber utilizes cut-to-length logging systems as well as more conventional logging systems depending on the desired outcome. Foresters use methods of harvesting that seek to promote overall forest health and increase productivity.

Sustainable
 |
Bennett Lumber's sustainable forestry goal is to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs by adopting land stewardship ethics that assure forests in this area remain healthy and continue to provide wood products, wildlife habitat, biological diversity, clean water, and recreational opportunities. |
|
|
Maintaining and enhancing ecosystem health is the primary focus of Bennett Lumber's forest management efforts. Healthy forests provide habitat for fish and wildlife as well as timber for our mills. Bennett Lumber's commitment to sound environmental practices is an everyday effort.
When it comes time to remove trees, Bennett's foresters manage with a light touch, removing unhealthy tress and planning for the needs of future forests. Most harvests are done to remove diseased and feeble trees to improve forest health. All harvest prescriptions favor leaving healthy native tree species. Our foresters use a variety of silvicultural prescriptions to assure biologic diversity, protect water quality, maintain wildlife habitat, and preserve visual quality. |
