Forestry

Before
Artist's rendition depicting an overcrowded timber stand.  Competing for sunlight and water causes stress on trees,  weakens their natural defense against insect attacks and disease, and makes them vulnerable to catastrophic wildfires

It all begins in the forest

  When forests and wilderness areas are healthy, they will continue to provide the wood and paper products that are important
to all of us.  


Wyoming Sawmills Inc. has three full time professional foresters on staff.  

Common sense and active forest management is the environmentally smart choice! 

Opportunities for private timber land owners  You play an important role in supplying wood for the nation.   In addition,  you profit in several ways when

your timber land! 
Benefits include:

      • Increased timber value, both present AND future.
      • Improved access for you, the owner.
      • Increased water yield.

      • Improved wildlife habitat.
      • Decreased potential for natural timber damage - insects, disease, or fire.

After
Artist's rendition of the same timber stand after a properly managed harvest: healthy trees remain, wildlife has better food & habitat, and another harvest is expected in 20 years!  

It is possible to successfully grow and harvest trees
while protecting wildlife, plants, soil, air, and water quality!
