Dead Standing Timber Harvesting and Reclamation

The science of forestry was born out of a philosophy that use of timber in our forests serves a greater good than allowing it to age, die and decay. The harvest and utilization of dry-standing wood for log home building produces a number of substantial benefits:

- As shelter must be built for an expanding world population, use of a renewable resource only makes sense.
-Every dry-standing tree used in home construction prevents a living tree from being destroyed.
-Harvest of dry-standing timber reduces wildfire risks in the western North American forests. Wildfires fueled by large amounts of dead wood consume other living trees, endanger watersheds, destroy wildlife and threaten homes.

Rocky Mountain Log Homes' log home and log cabin timber harvest takes into account necessary habitat requirements for fish, wildlife and recreational pursuits, as well as for the regeneration of a healthy forest. Our goals are achieved through harvest-site analysis, scheduling, selection of harvestable timber, site design, and use of specialized logging equipment.
