King Mountain Forestry, LLC
Products & Services
King Mountain Forestry, LLC, runs multiple crews with production focused in two key areas: logging and mulching services. We work with both public and private landowners, suggesting management strategies to maximize forest health and owner value.
 Logging ServicesLogging is the practice of identifying and harvesting timber as a natural, renewable resource. This can be done for clients who wish to maximize the dollar value of their investments or to treat damaged properties. KMF employs a variety of logging strategies, not only to ensure the best financial return for clients, but also to improve general forest health. KMF may propose logging or thinning solutions for timbered areas impacted by bark beetles, overgrowth, and disease. |  Mulching ServicesWillow Wehr, site supervisor for King Mountain Forestry, LLC, is the company's mulching crew lead. From pesky sagebrush to stubborn juniper, thick grasses to sizable trees, our mulching team has seen it all! Mulching treatments can be used to manage irrigation ditches, fields, hillsides, roads and rights-of-way, and even forested tracts for an overall healthier and more navigable landscape. We have several mulching equipment options for your project needs. Contact us to schedule a site review. |  Buck Fence ConstructionKing Mountain Forestry's post and rail suppliers use locally grown Montana lodgepole pine. Members of our labor crew can come design a custom-built fence to your specifications. Options may include split, unsplit, peeled, and barkie rails, in a variety of lengths. KMF constructs jackleg fencing, a popular look for rural areas with rocky or marshy ground. |

This is a popular solution for reducing fire hazards and opening forested and agricultural spaces, while still leaving desirable healthy trees. We have several different types of mulching equipment available, depending on your project needs.
