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.
