Forest resources vary within the management units that comprise  GTM Research Reserve. State agency specific information is available within each unit's Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) approved management plan. The most practical application of silviculture within the CAMA managed areas of  GTM Research Reserve is as a tool in achieving restoration objectives and reducing wildfire hazards. In the best case scenario, the revenue potential of timber harvest in  GTM Research Reserve is low to average. 50 acres of slash pine have invaded a freshwater marsh on the Guana Peninsula and removal of this timber would be consistent with resource management goals.
