FOREST MANAGeMENT LIFECYCLE
The forest management lifecycle encompasses five stages. Each stage is vital to promoting forest health and requires different equipment solutions. With our full lineup of Quadco, Log Max, Southstar, and Bracke products, we have solutions to make work in each of these stages simple and hassle-free.
Planting / Seeding
After the site is prepared, this phase focuses on planting and seeding new trees. Each site requires specific needs to establish healthy forests for the future.
Management
As the forest grows, managing undergrowth and competing vegetation is key to ensuring young trees have the best chance to thrive.
Felling
When it’s time to harvest, tree removal is conducted with precision and care, minimizing waste and the impact on the surrounding environment.
Processing
To make processing on the work site simpler, we offer a range of attachments including grapple processor heads and harvesting processor heads.
Site Prep
The foundation of sustainable forestry, this phase involves preparing the land for new growth and providing optimal conditions for tree development.

SOWING SUCCESS
Botanical scarification is an important part of creating an optimal environment for new plants or seeds to grow. Scarification helps protect seeds or plants in the early growing stages. This practice is helpful in northern and southern latitudes and aids in reducing the negative impacts of pests or competing vegetation on seedlings.
Scarification is a beneficial practice in any climate. However, it is particularly important at northern latitudes where the growing season is shorter. Proper scarification can mitigate the effects of lower temperatures and reduced sunlight by exposing plants to higher air temperatures, allowing more sunlight in, improving water balance of the soil, and increasing access to nutrients. No matter your location, scarification offers key benefits including increased plant survival rates and improved growth.
