Forestry Services
Logging
At Rieger Logging, quality timber harvesting is our specialty. Our skilled timber fallers use careful techniques like “building a lay”—strategically piling logs to keep standing trees suspended and intact during the felling process. This extra care protects your timber investment, as mills pay premium prices for long, unbroken logs. When you have 120 feet of merchantable timber in a single tree, proper harvesting techniques make a significant difference to your bottom line.
Land Clearing
Transforming unusable land into productive space is one of our most rewarding services. We’ve cleared projects ranging from a few trees around a home to 70-acre tracts converted from forest to farmland. Our comprehensive approach includes logging merchantable timber, pulling stumps, burning brush, and preparing the site for its next use—whether that’s cropland, pasture, or a vineyard. What once took years can now be accomplished in months with the right equipment and expertise.
Timberland Management
Responsible forestry is good business. Our timberland management services balance environmental stewardship with economic productivity, considering wildlife habitat, forest health, and sustainable harvest practices. We believe forests are renewable resources that can simultaneously provide income for landowners, create recreational spaces for families, support wildlife populations, and sustain jobs throughout the lumber industry. Our approach goes beyond standard harvest cycles to create diverse, multi-aged forests that work harder for everyone.
