Silviculture

Silviculture

“Silviculture is the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests and woodlands to meet the diverse needs and values of landowners and society such as wildlife habitat, timber, water resources, restoration, and recreation on a sustainable basis.”

The name originates from the Latin word silvi- which means ‘forest’ and culture- which means ‘growing’. Huock professionals and technicians plan and implement treatments for forest planning. These steps include planting, brushing, fertilizing, and any other activities or monitoring that reproduce ecosystems of trees for a variety of forest values. Huock silviculture begins before any tree is cut and continues to support through the ongoing growth.
