Timber stand improvement (TSI) is the removal or control of lower value or undesirable species in order to improve the growth, value, and regeneration of more desirable species.

We provide the following timber stand improvement services:

• Manual cutting of undesirable species to improve the growth and value of the desired species
• Application of select herbicides to control the competing weed species.
