Ecoforestry is short for "Ecological Forestry".
This approach generally means selective thinning (or "variable density thinning"). Rather than large clearcuts, co-dominant trees are selected for harvest, or sometimes clearings of one to two acres in size may be created (in deciduous or diseased stands) to extract wood and encourage conifer regeneration.
Evergreen Ecoforestry LLC is certified through Northwest Natural Resource Group (NNRG) which is a wonderful resource for forest landowners who wish to utilize this approach.
