Timber Stand Improvement
Our TSI plans are designed to help you maintain the health and vitality of your forest. We can gear our work towards timber value or wildlife improvements, or find a happy medium. Our experts will work closely with you to develop a plan that meets your needs and fits your budget.
General Information
-
TSI stands out as the most effective method to enhance wildlife habitat
-
It may take 5+ years to witness significant improvements through TSI
-
Delaying the start of TSI by each year will hinder your ultimate goal
-
As an age-old saying goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second best time is now."
-
The end result justifies the time and effort invested
-
Your land will undergo a complete transformation, leading to flourishing wildlife populations
-
A vital part of TSI involves removing specific trees to alleviate overcrowding
-
This reduces competition for resources, accelerates tree growth, and maximizes the quality of high-value trees
Prescribed Burning
-
Prescribed burning enhances timber stands by reducing understory competition, improving soil nutrients, and promoting tree germination.
-
Prescribed burning replicates the natural role of fire in many ecosystems, fostering biodiversity, recycling nutrients, and maintaining ecosystem health
Native Habitat Enhancement and Restoration
At LPT, we are experts in restoration of our treasured Texas wilderness. Native habitat restoration in Texas reestablishes original ecosystems by reintroducing native species and improving ecological processes. It counters habitat degradation from urbanization, invasives, and agriculture.
General Information​
-
Restored habitats offer benefits like improved water quality, pollination, and carbon sequestration
-
Conserving and restoring the state's natural landscapes, ensures long-term benefits for both hunters and wildlife
-
Native habitats are better adapted to local climate conditions, making them more resilient to changes in temperature and precipitation
-
Restoration efforts often involve managing and removing invasive species
-
Native habitats are a part of Texas' natural heritage, restoration ensures that these landscapes are preserved for future generations to appreciate and enjoy
-
Restored native habitats stabilize soil and prevent erosion, reducing sedimentation in water sources. This benefits both grazing areas and water quality for wildlife


Supplemental Food, Water & Shelter
We will work to identify your lands strengths and weaknesses. Then these resources are strategically inserted to assist wildlife when cover is lacking and through times of drought and scarce forage.
General Information
-
Supplemental feeding boosts deer herd health and population size
-
Using a feeder makes for a prime location to set up a stand
-
Supplemental water is essential, particularly in arid regions, ensuring the survival of various species during droughts
-
Supplemental shelter for deer through the creation of brush piles provides crucial refuge during extreme weather conditions and makes for more productive fawning habitat
-
Providing supplemental shelter for native Texas birds, such as birdhouses or nest boxes, offers essential nesting sites where that may be naturally inadequate
