forest management
Dunbar Forest Management, LLC operates at the intersection of professional silviculture and historical preservation. As a working forest, we are committed to the disciplined management of our timber resources, ensuring the long-term health, productivity, and economic viability of the land. We believe that a well-managed forest is a profitable one, and a profitable forest is one that can be protected for generations.
Our conservation strategy focuses on Active Stewardship. We are clearing storm-deposited debris from our riparian zones, we ensure the forest remains healthy, accessible, and resilient. We are maintaining and growing our wildlife population. These efforts support a diverse ecosystem of flora and fauna while allowing for the responsible harvest and management practices required of a modern agricultural entity.
Beyond the timber, Dunbar Forest will be a site of Historical and Education. We are working on plans to serve as a living classroom, preserving the heritage of the land while providing the public with the tools to understand forest ecology. Whether through our information center or our meticulously maintained trails, our goal is to foster a deep respect for the land—viewing the forest not just as a resource, but as a legacy of conservation and community.
To maintain the forest we must look at timber, wildlife management, and beekeeping.
