Hillcrest Lumber utilizes careful planning and hard work to harvest timber while maintaining a proper habitat for white tail deer to thrive. Since 1974, Hillcrest has been serving the needs of landowners in and around the region.
With 33% of Ohio being wooded, Hillcrest continues to prosper using responsible forestry practices that include a timely harvest of mature hardwoods and knowing when to leave young trees behind for a future harvest.
According to Hillcrests David Hershberger, the Ohio forest is growing two and half times faster than it is being harvested and is more abundant today than it was 40 years ago.
Hillcrest can help maintain and even increase white tail deer populations on your recreational land to insure abundant populations for seasonal harvesting.
Hillcrest maintains a 750 acre tree farm in Muskingum County where they have put their techniques to the test proving that proper forestry can mimic nature so wildlife is left with the food, cover and bedding they need to stay healthy.
A family-owned company, Hillcrest engages the community with special events for children and adults to encourage outdoor activities.
Hillcrests practices promote a healthy forest which in turn allows them to provide top-rated hardwoods to manufacturers and builders.
