Hershey Biomass Products harvests timber suited for graded lumber, paper products, and OSB siding. We buy and harvest a variety of hardwoods and softwoods throughout Sawyer, Douglas, Bayfield, and Washburn Counties. As the general contractor for timber, we negotiate the purchase of your timber, direct the building of landings and roads, and oversee processing and forwarding using a cut-to-length (CTL) system. After logging is complete, we clean up the site, remove and chip the tops, and close the sale. More detailed site restoration services are available by request.
When our skidders move the tops during site cleanup, they intentionally disturb the soil and expose mineral soil. This mechanical scarification contributes to more successful natural regeneration (“regen”)—the establishment of new seedlings to form the future forest.
