Quality Management

Timberland is a valuable asset which should be managed properly. Landowners should never assume that woodlands will automatically regenerate the same quality of timber that is presently growing. If managed poorly, long term economic prospects will wane. If managed wisely, the value of a forest can increase significantly over a landowner’s lifetime.

Harvest Wisely

At Salem Hardwood we know that quality timber grows best in forest ecosystems where the trees compete for light, air, water and soil nutrients. Trees tend to grow tall and straight while competing for dominance in the forest canopy to absorb direct sunlight, and they establish extensive root systems for an adequate supply of water and minerals from the soil.


With this in mind, Salem Hardwood seeks to remove forest resources employing logging practices that protect the forest ecosystem and residual timber stand left for future harvests.


Proper logging practices actually can improve a wood lot, stimulate residual timber growth and help maintain forest health.

Sustainable Forestry

Salem Hardwood is a proud partner of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative of Pennsylvania (SFI of PA) which focuses not only what is taken out of the forest but what is left behind.

Our trained forestry staff is different from most timber company procurement programs. We do not just give timber estimates; we give solid forestry advice. Our staff strives to protect wildlife habitat, water resources, woodland aesthetics, residual trees and adequate sources of quality hardwood regeneration (seeds, seedlings, saplings, and mature hardwoods). Many timber buyers cruise the woods only looking up, while you will often catch our foresters surveying the ground for proper soil conditions and regeneration potential.

Multiple Use Land Management

Salem Hardwood can help you establish a system of trails to better access and use your land. As part of every timber harvest, trails are established which can make forests better suited for multiple uses such as hunting, hiking, bird watching, mountain biking, and horse riding, and improve accessibility to trees for firewood and future timber harvests.

Discover how Salem Hardwood can help make your property more suitable for a multitude of recreational uses.

Long-Term Timber Management

We provide customized Timber Management Plans for landowners looking to boost the value & health of their forest for greater profits and sustained yields.

With a proper forest management harvest program, landowners can continually improve the quality and value of their forest.

Enrolled landowners are guaranteed that after each harvest, the quality of their timber will improve, and the average stem diameter will stay the same or increase in size through proper shelter-wood thinning procedures.
