Salvage Logging

---

Salvage logging is a forestry practice that involves the removal of trees, typically damaged or dead, from forests affected by natural disturbances such as wildfires, insect infestations, diseases, windstorms, or other catastrophic events.  

The primary goal of salvage logging is to recover economic value from the affected timber while addressing ecological concerns and promoting forest recovery.

To aid in the recovery of disturbed areas, salvage logging operations may include reforestation efforts and habitat restoration activities.  This is aimed at returning the ecosystem to a more resilient and healthy state.
