Timber Stand Improvement

Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) is the practice of managing a forest to improve the health, growth, and quality of its trees. It involves removing unhealthy, overcrowded, or low-value trees to reduce competition for sunlight, water, and nutrients. TSI helps desirable trees grow faster, enhances wildlife habitat, reduces the risk of pests and disease, and increases the long-term value and sustainability of the forest.
