OUR SELECTIVE
HARVEST APPROACH
To allow our forests to continue to have a positive impact on CO2 capture, Northern Hardwoods is highly selective at every harvest. Our hardwoods forests are never clear cut. Instead, only the most ideal trees for lumber are harvested. Each tree is inspected and chosen by foresters with years of experience. Our people and cutting edge equipment work together to allow the forest to naturally replenish and to protect younger, healthy trees so they can continue to grow and store carbon.
