Coordination

CFM can help coordinate the following forest management activities in addition to even-aged and commercial thinning operations:

 

Reforestation

CFM can coordinate and supervise all reforestation following harvest – including ordering seedlings; finding a contractor to plant; and supervise planting operations.

 

Animal Damage Protection

CFM can work with you and the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) to determine ways to protect seedlings and larger trees from animal damage, then coordinate and oversee the completion of protection measures.

 

FREP Compensation

CFM can assist you in applying for FREP reimbursement for the timber you may need to leave to protect fish and wildlife habitat.

 

Vegetation Control

CFM can assist you in completing vegetation control projects after any harvest including: application of pesticides for site preparation or for the release of desired reforestation species; and mechanical control (hand slashing) of competing vegetation to assure the best stocked stand possible.

 

Pre-commercial Thinning

CFM can assist you in determining when to pre-commercially thin and to help find and supervise a contractor to perform thinning work.
