Below are a few of the services we provide:


MANAGEMENT PLANS.
Planning is not a single event, but a series of continuous steps leading to a desired goal. Forest Management Plans are, by necessity, long-term. The plan guides activities for decades, providing continuity through successive generations of owners. The plan can be as detailed (short–term recommendations) or as general (long–term recommendations) as you desire. The first step is to determine your priorities, set goals and identify the management activities to reach those goals.

TREE PLANTING AND SITE PREPARATION.
Site preparation is one of the most intensive, disturbing activities that must be done using best management practices to protect water and soil quality.

Planting requires good planting stock, a properly prepared site, tree species matched to the site and soils, proper planting methods and adequate protection and care after planting.

PRESCRIBED BURNS.
This lowers the risk of wildfire, as well as the population of undesirable wood species. Many species, such as some pine are tolerant of ′cool′ fires under controlled conditions. It can be used to get rid of buildups of leaves, needles and other fuels that can ignite and cause a major wildfire, as well as removing less fire–tolerant tree and brush species. An added benefit to prescribed burning is the stimulation of many herbaceous species of plants that provide food and cover for certain wildlife species.

TIMBER SALES.
Timber harvesting, skidding and hauling on forest roads and trails are potential causes of erosion, soil degradation and sedimentation. With the assistance of a professional forester, you can make a pre–harvest plan that will result in a good timber sale and harvest contract and adequate oversight of the process to minimize environmental impacts.
