Forestry & Logging
The team at Icicle Ridge Forestry partners with landowners and government agencies to help manage their timber resources. Managing and thinning forests not only provides a monetary return to landowners but reduces fuels and helps mitigate the risk of catastrophic wildfires.
In conjunction with logging, we work with government agencies to secure Firewise funding to further protect landowners forests from wildfires.
Healthy Forest
Contrast the dense forest on the right side of this picture and the strategically thinned portion on the left. Which portion looks better suited to allow sunlight for tree/plant growth and wildfire resistance?
Many landowners do not realize what a healthy forest looks like. People have grown used to thick dense forests being the norm. In actuality, larger spacing between trees leads to healthier tree growth and a reduction in fuels, limiting the likelihood of catastrophic fires.
We work with professional foresters and listen to the desires of landowners to come up with a thinning plan that best accomplishes the goals of each individual owner.
