Select Cutting

Targeted Harvesting That Supports Long-Term Forest Health

Select cutting focuses on removing specific trees while leaving others to continue growing. This approach allows landowners to improve stand quality, encourage healthy growth, and maintain forest cover.

L.P. Dugger Logging works closely with landowners to identify which trees should be harvested and which should remain, based on long-term objectives and forest conditions.
