It’s time for a thinning of our Red Pine forest! Using Ponsse Equipment, we are harvesting about 20 acres of woods planted in 1982. This is the second thinning for this Family Forest.
Ponsse is a company that Sleeping Bear LLC managing member, Vandy Johnson, visited in Finland in 2024. Read more about Ponsse on our Sleeping Bear Tree Farm Blog https://sleepingbeartreefarm.com/index.php/2024/06/15/day-four-finland-trade-and-study-mission/
