Forest Thinning & Fire Management
Thinning prescriptions written by people who have run the crews that carry them out.
Thinning is easy to do badly
Treatments that remove the wrong material, leave the wrong spacing, or ignore how fire will actually move through the treated stand can cost a great deal and reduce risk very little. Slash left untreated can make the situation worse before it makes it better.
We prescribe treatments against modelled fire behaviour, and we write them so a crew can actually execute them.

Our process
Model fire behaviour
How fire will move through the stand as it is, and as it would be after treatment.
Prescribe
Species, spacing, and residual basal area written to be executable in the field.
Scope the work
Specifications, slash treatment, and contractor-ready documentation.
Inspect
Post-treatment inspection against prescription before final payment.
What you receive
- Written thinning and fuel treatment prescriptions
- Fire behaviour modelling summary
- Contractor-ready specifications and mapping
