Forest Stand Improvement (fSI)

What Is forest stand improvement?

Forest Stand Improvement (FSI) is a common management technique that involves thinning the forest with chainsaws. It is often used in conjunction with other management techniques, such as herbicide application, timber harvesting, hinge-cutting, and/or prescribed burning.  Forest stand improvement techniques greatly improve the wildlife value of a given timber stand and can have a massive impact on the overall ability of your land to grow and hold deer.
