Obtaining high-quality round timber for own productionIn 2001 a Danzer Group company that focuses on the acquisition and management of timberland was founded in Pennsylvania, USA. The company, Danzer Forestland Inc., was developed to identify forestland acquisition opportunities and to manage these lands for a sustained yield of high quality logs. The combination of forest management expertise and the high level of log quality knowledge within the Danzer Group make this possible.
Currently in North America, the Danzer Group timberland holdings total 20,000 hectares: 3,000 hectares in Indiana 17,000 hectares in Pennsylvania and New York. Additional acquisitions of forestland are planned.
While the focus of management is the production of high quality logs, emphasis is placed on forest regeneration to provide for a sustained production far into the future. Other forest amenities such as wildlife, streams and wetlands, soils, and aesthetics are likewise served as a result of the overall forest stewardship ethics and community responsibility of the company. Extensive information management system for harvestingIn addition to identifying high quality acquisition opportunities, Danzer Forestland personnel are working on the development of an information management system that will combine forest inventory data, tree quality assessment, and growth projections with a geographic information system. The system will allow for spatial analysis and querying capabilities of forest inventory data to identify, map, and prioritize forest management and harvesting opportunities.
Danzer Forestland is a very important project that demonstrates the Danzer Group's commitment to environmentally responsible forest management. |
