Tree-Value
In some instances, trees have a lumber or firewood value, If we can
resale the trees for you, we credit that value to the
services involved.
* 1) Pine Beetles and beetle kill is approaching epidemic level,
if you look at what they have done to the western slope and areas like
Grand County, it looks like a moon-scape!
Spraying has limited effect and questionable environmental impact. Thinning is the best
choice.
Removing infected trees reduces the chance of infesting remaining
trees and strengthens the remaining trees immune system by providing
more water. Not only dose it offer the best return on
'curb-appeal' it is a sound investment
to protecting future value!
* 2) Fire Mitigation, thinning trees to reduce crown space not
only reduces the chance of forest fires spreading from tree top to treetop ,
it also allows sunlight and water a chance to promote grasses and
wildflowers , giving wildlife a better home.
It have been well documented that Firefighters and Fire-bombers
sometime can not save
some homes without a defendable space, and will drop there retardant on
something they can save. Only to return on there next trip to see the
non-defended home in ashes.
Pathfinder Forest Service works with fire department personal,
County, State and Federal planners to insure
* 3) Environmental Mitigation, With decades of fire suppression
and the overgrowth of mature and dying trees. The natural cycle of
healthy forest has been upset. Culling less then desirable trees and
using the slash to control erosion, restoring and promoting 'natures own plan'.
Healthy Forrest produce oxygen, Old growth, overgrowth, dead and dying
trees waste water while producing excessive Carbon (CO2).
