The Sustainable Forests Alliance is also developing
resources for landowners who want to restore natural and economically viable
forests to their lands that have been damaged in the past by bad timber
management. From the best timber harvesting methods to when and
where controlled burns can help, these resources will help landowners
rehabilitate their forest lands to the best possible condition. Wildlife,
water quality, scenic beauty and landowner economics all benefit when damaged
forest lands are restored carefully to a healthy forest ecosystem. 
Allowing
a mixture of native tree species (as opposed to planting a monoculture) along
with careful thinning and light controlled burns have made this forest healthy
and diverse.
