The Shelterwood Cut that will take place in Newton County will be a lengthy process, however Polk and his team are up for the challenge.
“We are looking forward to performing this Shelterwood Cut for the landowner. The landowner should receive a good return on the Timber from the land”, says Polk. When a Shelterwood Cut is performed, there is a lot of examining done to each tree on the land. In order to make a Shelterwood Cut the most profitable for the landowner the healthiest trees must remain on the land. The space that is created by removing the weaker tress will make room for new trees for future harvests.
The way a Shelterwood Cut works is that the healthy trees naturally drop seeds that will provide the foundation for new trees to begin their growth. Roughly four to eight years after this job is completed the newer trees will be established. Once those trees reach a certain point of growth, the trees that were initially left in the Shelterwood Cut can now be harvested to yield more profit for the landowner. In most scenarios, the wildlife in the area will also benefit from a Shelterwood Cut.
