$\"\"$ Forests are much\u00a0like a garden where desirable\u00a0plants need proper spacing and access to available resources, in order\u00a0for trees to grow, stay healthy, and produce for you. They need important resources\u00a0such as sunlight, nutrients, and water.\u00a0 If trees are not given adequate room to\u00a0thrive, they become\u00a0susceptible to disease, grow slowly or not at all, and have reduced capacity to produce\u00a0valuable food for wildlife.<\/p>\n

Trees can be viewed as a carbon factory, where the leaves are the workers and the stem (or trunk) the warehouse. The leaves are a marvelous thing, created to capture sunlight, breathe in carbon dioxide, and convert it into oxygen. They also make sugars and other compounds to be sent all over the plant for growth and storage as wood in the stem.\u00a0The more leaves the tree can support in the crown, the more it can grow and produce. If the crowns of the trees are overly crowded or not getting enough sunlight, the tree will not grow\u00a0to its full potential.<\/p>\n

Proper thinning of your woods at important intervals will ensure that the best trees in your forest have the best chance to thrive and grow to maximum size before it reaches maturity. All trees have a lifespan, and if your goal is to produce\u00a0large healthy trees that provide\u00a0excellent wildlife food and cover, then carefully managing sunlight in your woods is essential.<\/p>\n

The process of TSI (timber stand improvement) is a way in which foresters can systematically thin your woods to the proper density, keeping over-story and understory in mind\u00a0to\u00a0improve growing space, keeping\u00a0your\u00a0good trees\u00a0growing strong and healthy.<\/p>\n
