Timber Management at Ridgetop Ranch is based on delivering sustainable harvest and improved quality trees.
Key Points:
- Focus on White and Northern Red Oak
- Leave quality trees to reseed in harvest selection
- TSI & harvest on 15 year rotation
- Reduce basal area to increase growth of remaining trees and increase seedling
recruitment and browse/cover for wildlife

All that we do with regard to timber management
can be credited to the vision and insight of
Joseph Matthew Bernard Haake III......Uncle Joe.
He was a pioneer in the area of timber management
and set us on a path of improving the forest and managing timber
for the benefit of generations to come.
He was a mentor and an inspiration to us all
and we hope he's pleased with all that's been done in
the years since he's passed.
Thank you Undle Joe for your inspiration and for all you gave us.
