Properly thinning trees allows each tree more access to water, lights, and nutrients. The result is an increased growth rate for the trees; yielding more wood per tree and the timber stand as a whole.
Thinning provides a periodic income between harvests of up to $350/acre through harvesting trees that might normally die; and can result in as much as a 25% increase in the annual value and growth of the timber.

All trees reach a point where their growth rate begins to decline. It is at this point that their vigor begins to wane and they become prone to biological and environmental stresses that will lead to devaluing of tree quality and eventual death.
By replacing trees before they become over-mature, the land can produce another stand of healthier, faster growing trees; and not only a stand of higher quality trees, but higher in value, producing more income over a shorter period of time.
