Wildfire Damage Rehabilitation
The fire is out. The erosion, the salvage window, and the reforestation decisions all start now.
The window after a fire is short
Salvage value falls quickly. The first heavy rain after a burn does damage that is far more expensive to fix than to prevent. Reforestation choices made in the first season shape the stand for fifty years.
Most landowners are making these decisions while also dealing with an insurance claim and, often, the loss of a home. We take the forestry side off their plate.
