Forest Planning
Our team is committed to helping landowners get the most from their timberlands by offering tailor made forest management solutions customized to their specific needs, regardless of stand size. We strive for a comprehensive approach to current and future planning to meet landowner goals.
Timber Assessment
In addition to offering personalized timber cruising to assess the quality and quantity of your stand based on your priorities, we also offer inventory cruises to forecast young stand health, stocking surveys to assess trees per acre for legal compliance and assessments to quantify value from fire or weather initiated loss. From your customized cruise data, we can determine the merchantable volume to discuss your preferred next steps, if any.
Silviculture
Post timber harvest, we will work with you to discuss stand establishment goals and variables in order to coordinate tree planting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, budget and success indicators. We will develop a customized plan to establish your stand from replanting to thinning recommendations for maximum growth and forest health.
Timber Harvest Administration
As an agent of the landowner, we provide unbiased and transparent oversight of all aspects of the logging process including but not limited to regulatory permitting, contractor negotiations, road design, log marketing, and harvest design & management.
Property Management
Our experienced team is well positioned to step into the day-to-day management of private lands by offering tailor made comprehensive management solutions to meet landowner specified goals. Through consistent communication and attention to budget benchmarks, we strive for a comprehensive approach to meet individual landowner values.
