Land Stewardship, Habitat Management, and Resilient Landscapes
Timber & Ember Co. provides professional land management services focused on forest health, wildlife habitat, and long-term landscape resilience. Our work supports landowners and communities in caring for their land in ways that balance ecology, productivity, and safety.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we tailor our approach to each property—recognizing that healthy forests, functioning habitats, and well-managed lands are the foundation of resilience.
Our Approach to Land Management
Every service we offer is guided by the same principles:
•Land health comes first
•Decisions are based on site conditions, not trends
•Tools are selected intentionally and conservatively
•Long-term outcomes matter more than short-term fixes
Fire risk reduction, when appropriate, is a result of good land management—not the sole objective.
Timber & Habitat Management
We help landowners improve forest structure, species diversity, and wildlife habitat through thoughtful timber and vegetation management.
This service focuses on:
•Improving forest health and vigor
•Supporting wildlife movement and habitat diversity
•Reducing overcrowding and competition
•Aligning timber, habitat, and long-term land goals
This is often the starting point for broader stewardship planning.
Mechanical & Manual Vegetation Treatments
Vegetation management plays a critical role in shaping forest structure, habitat quality, and land usability—especially in the wildland–urban interface (WUI).
These treatments support:
•Healthier forest spacing and structure
•Improved wildlife habitat and movement
•Defensible space and access planning
•Reduced fuel continuity as a secondary benefit
Treatments are targeted, site-specific, and designed to work with the land—not against it.
Prescribed Fire & Ecological Fire Use
Fire is a natural and powerful ecological process when applied under the right conditions. We support prescribed fire as a land management tool that restores ecological function and supports long-term forest health.
Prescribed fire can:
•Maintain open forest structure
•Recycle nutrients and reduce surface fuels
•Support fire-adapted ecosystems
•Improve habitat diversity
Our approach emphasizes planning, restraint, and ecological intent.
UAS Mapping & Aerial Analysis
We use Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) to support informed land management decisions through high-resolution aerial data.
UAS services support:
•Property and habitat assessments
•Vegetation and forest condition analysis
•Wildlife habitat mapping
•Planning and documentation for land treatments
•Monitoring changes over time
This data-driven approach helps landowners see the full picture before taking action.
Long-Term Land Stewardship & Planning
Effective land management is an ongoing process. We work with clients to develop phased, long-term stewardship strategies that adapt as conditions change.
This service supports:
•Multi-year land management planning
•Integration of multiple treatment types
•Maintenance and follow-up strategies
•Advisory support for evolving land goals
This is where individual projects become a cohesive vision for the land.

•Private landowners and families
