From veneer to firewood,

When choosing a tree for a permanent tree stand, consider more than just location—consider the tree’s quality and future value. The tree pictured may have once been veneer quality, but now its value has been reduced dramatically, down to firewood.

Whether you’re a private landowner or part of a hunting club, keep the future value of the timber in mind when selecting trees for stands. Poor quality trees work just as well for tree stands.

This type of damage can also occur when temporary stands are left in place year after year instead of being removed seasonally. It always seems like the best trees are the ones chosen for stand locations.

A little planning today can help preserve timber quality and value for decades to come.

🚨 Invasive Species Spotlight 🚨

This is Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), an invasive shrub commonly found in our woods.

At a glance, it may look attractive, but it causes serious problems:
• Small, spoon-shaped leaves that grow densely along the stems
• Bright red berries that appear in summer and often persist through winter
• Sharp, needle-like spines (thorns)
• Forms dense, thorny thickets that crowd out native plants

These thick patches make it difficult for native vegetation to survive and can take over the forest understory.

If you find it on your property, it’s best to remove it before it spreads.

🌱 Protect native plants. Protect your woods.

Out in the woods this week, we spotted a great example of a tree’s determination. 🌳🪨
This tree is growing on a thin layer of soil atop solid rock—no deep roots, no problem. It’s a perfect reminder that trees will happily work with whatever they’re given and thrive.

Nature is resilient, a little stubborn, and always worth stopping to admire!

Beyond improving timber quality in the long term, Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) also cultivates a thriving forest by increasing understory regeneration, which in turn generates excellent wildlife habitats along with various other advantages.
