Habitat Management of Michigan

About Habitat Management of Michigan

Habitat Management of Michigan is a logging and timber buying outfit out of Muskegon, Michigan, working on wooded properties in Muskegon County. They also buy standing timber and do land clearing and site work. They've been managing timber across West Michigan since 2008. Their work covers select timber cuts, complete land clearing, and habitat management, with jobs including single tree selections, shelter wood selection, clear cut harvesting, and stump removal. The species they mention are mast-producing trees like oak, evergreens, pine, and hardwood. Their process is "we only take the trees that are ready for harvest, and leave the rest to grow and be harvested in the future." They run two full time wood crews who mechanically cut and harvest timber, using Ponsse harvesting equipment, skidders, forwarders, a chipper, a tub grinder, and Caterpillar equipment for clearing and stump work. Their workers' comp is carried through the Michigan Association of Timberman's Self Insured Fund, and liability coverage is available on request. They work closely with the Michigan Timber Association. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job they describe is clearing about 8 acres of a 20 acre property ahead of building a home. This fits a landowner near Muskegon who wants one business to handle everything from a timber sale to clearing a building site, not just a straight stumpage buyer.
