Question

I need two ways that trees can be sustainably harvested

Answer 1

Two ways of sustainably harvesting trees are:

1. Group Selection System: This approach involves harvesting of mature trees and the thinning of intermediate trees at relatively short intervals on a repetitive basis. This system supports natural regeneration and re-establishment of a sustainable mixed-age stand of forest.

2. Seedtree System: This harvest option provides for the removal of the majority of mature trees, it leaves standing certain other mature trees, in small groups or singly, to serve as a seed source for natural regeneration. By carefully selecting seed trees, vital new growth can be ensured.
