Forest management plan development.

Our forestry team considers your property’s health and potential and provides assessments of field layouts to implement. We create our forest management plans with climate resiliency and stewardship in mind. Our team also develops wildfire risk assessments and reforestation plans.

Timber cruising and sale layout.

Our foresters evaluate the value of your timber by considering the characteristics and quality of the trees and their worth. Our reports include details such as tree size, characteristics, volume, and quantity.

Forest stand assessment.

A forest stand assessment identifies the diversity of species on your land, improves the health of the forest, and assesses the key ecological attributes and biodiversity of the trees.

Our natural resource and GIS teams provide added value to your project.

Our natural resource staff understands agency, state, and federal requirements and has established relationships with agency staff. Our GIS technicians provide an in-depth look at your trees, including more data on species diversity and the age and size of your timber.
