🌲We’re excited to share a harvest where long‑term investments are paying off. Over the past few weeks we’ve been posting about thinning, crop‑tree releases, and other investment treatments — the quiet work that sets a woodlot up for real success.

This week, we got to show what that looks like when it comes full circle.

I walked a Midcoast area client/landowner out into his 165‑acre woodlot to see his forest during the harvest. He’s tended this property for many years, and now he’s watching the payoff: the canopy opening, sunlight reaching the forest floor, regeneration ready to kick in, and a new cohort of trees getting its chance. The healthy white pine and red spruce waiting in the midstory are about to take off. This forest will be healthy for years to come!

He’s excited for this moment — and for the future of the forest!

Huge thank‑you to the CTL Land Management crew for your time to explain your approach to the harvest and thanks for thoughtful work! 🌳

Just wrapped up a grinding job for a client up in Aroostook. Big thanks to for the grinding work!
This lot had grown in over the past 20 years and the work has really “spruced” it up. Views of Mt. Katahdin are restored, and the property is now accessible again for hiking and xcountry skiing. It’ll also improve truck access for the upcoming winter harvest.

We’re wrapping up a job in Limington. Most of the work on this 125-acre property focused on thinning the crowded forest. A heavy harvest in the 1990s left almost nothing standing and created the dense conditions we found. The stumps tell the story clearly: about 10 years of moderate growth, followed by 20 years of strong growth, then a slowdown over the last decade. Time to open it up!
One of the crews from Robert W Libby & Sons thinned the stands, opening the canopy and giving light to the vigorous white pine, red oak, yellow birch, and red maple. They did an excellent job! The land will be ready for another thinning real soon!
Congratulations to the landowners for investing the time and effort into this property—it will pay off.

Some crop tree release on an unthinned 1990s spruce stand! Let there be light!
This kind of work wouldn’t be happening without cost-share help from the Maine Forest Service WoodsWISE Resilience Program. If you own woodland, check it out:

Worked up in Littleton, Maine last week (my birthplace — better known as “God’s country”) doing crop tree release on a unthinned 1990’s spruce plantation for a client.
We removed the weaker trees competing for sunlight so the residual crop trees can finally take off. This stand is going to explode over the next few years.
Check out the before and after photos!

Unique Lichen-Rich Pitch Pine Barren in Woolwich 🌲🫐
This is a unique 5-acre lichen-rich pitch pine barren opening on a client’s property in Woolwich. Not much financial value here, but the ecological value is outstanding. We’re preparing for a harvest and this area will be protected.
Songbirds and mammal signs were everywhere — just waiting to see mama bear! And the blueberries were delicious! 🫐🐻

CTL Land Management just added a new Weiler B457 Feller Buncher to their fleet. This is one of our jobs in Woolwich.
Operator Wayne Little has been running it and likes the power and comfort of the cab.
This machine will work out front, followed by a tracked harvester with a Waratah head and a forwarder behind it. It’s a solid system built to keep production moving strong.
Check out the video of the buncher working in the woods!

Seeing everything coated in yellow dust this spring? 🌲
That’s your white pines having a big reproductive year.

What you’re seeing is pollen from the small male cones — a visible sign that eastern white pine is putting real energy into reproduction. White pine tends to have strong mast years every 3–5 years, and heavy pollen like this usually lines up with those bigger cone crops.

The pollen released now will help produce the cones that drop over the next few years, but the important part is the overall reproductive push. Good cone years are excellent times to plan or carry out a white pine harvest — especially if you want strong natural regeneration afterward. When seed is abundant, new seedlings have a much better shot at getting established after a timber harvest.

If you’re noticing this in your woods or thinking about management, timber, or a long‑term plan, feel free to reach out. Always happy to talk through what a year like this means for your property.

🐛🌳 PSA: Winter Moth is Active Right Now in the Midcoast Region — Take a Look at Your Trees
If you’ve been hearing what sounds like light rain hitting dry leaves under your oaks and maples lately… that’s not rain.
That’s frass — caterpillar droppings — falling from winter moth larvae that are still actively feeding.
Take a listen to my videos- not as vivid as in person but you’ll get the drift. Also a few pictures of the caterpillar, the grass, and foliage being eaten.
These invasive inchworms have been causing noticeable defoliation this spring in parts of the Midcoast, especially on oaks. While it can look (and sound) dramatic, here’s what most forest landowners can realistically expect:
• Healthy trees will usually push out a second set of leaves later this summer.
• You’ll likely see reduced growth this year — research in similar conditions shows up to a 50% reduction in radial growth on oaks during heavy feeding years.
• One year of defoliation is rarely fatal for vigorous trees, but repeated years in a row can lead to branch dieback and increased stress.
• Maples are usually less affected than oaks.
What you can do right now:
Walk your woodlot this week and take a look. Note which trees are hit hardest and roughly how much of the canopy is affected. That quick check gives you a much better sense of what you’re dealing with than the sound alone.
If you’re concerned about how this might affect your woodlot, Tree Growth Tax plans, or long-term forest health, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to come take a look and give you straight advice based on what’s actually happening on your property. The Maine Forest Service has an entomology team with lots of info as well.
Have you noticed this on your land this year? Feel free to comment or message me — I’m tracking how widespread it is this season.
