WHY: Northern Michigan is home to more than eight million acres of forestland, most of which is owned by individual families or other private entities. The JML Forestry team is dedicated to preserving the natural resources and habitats of our region. JML experts know what an impact our forests have on the health of Northern Michigan and our planet and the company is committed to sharing its expertise with friends and neighbors who own and care for this beautiful land.
Although the Upper Peninsula accounts for only 29 percent of the Michigan’s area, it is home to 45 percent of its forests. The state’s forestland continues to grow and thrive, thanks to the efforts of local experts who lead the nation in practicing effective forest management and sustainable timber harvesting techniques. Selective harvests diversify the age and species of trees, making forests more resistant to pests, disease, and the impact of climate change.
