Lavern Heideman &
Sons Limited has over 15 years of plantation management experience throughout
Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. Heideman was a pioneer in terms of
developing methods of harvesting and markets for Red Pine plantation thinnings.
“When Lavern Heideman & Sons Limited developed a market for small diameter Red Pine in the early 1990’s, our ability to manage Red Pine plantations greatly improved because it made first thinnings a paying proposition.”(Martin Streit, South Nation Conservation Authority, 2002)
We employ two mechanical harvesting teams consisting of a harvester and a forwarder. Each tree is completely processed at the stump by the harvester – felled, delimbed, and cut to length. The forwarder completes the process by moving the pieces to the roadside for transportation. The machines employed by Heideman have the ability to reach around trees in order to process trees a couple of rows over from where the machine is situated. This is completed without damaging remaining trees and significantly enhances our ability to properly manage Red Pine plantations.
The knowledge of our staff regarding management strategies for Red Pine thinnings is unsurpassed. Call anytime for free advice and answers to any of your questions about plantation management.
