Put our 30 years of experience in timber sale administration and log marketing to work for you. Our specialty is in maximizing timber value to the landowner through optimized bucking. If you are not familiar with competitive log marketing, the pitfalls of Scribner Scale, and the numerous market niches for specialty logs, call and we can help. We'll do just the marketing or take your timber sale from start to finish.
Timber management plans are a must for property tax reclassification applications and can save the landowner thousands of dollars in property taxes. A plan can also increase your eligibility for U.S. government funding on certain forest health projects and they'll even pay for the cost of the plan!
Whether you are buying, selling or just establishing a base value for your timber, we can help. We cruise and appraise old growth, second growth and reproduction. We have teamed up with licensed appraisers to provide full package appraisals for both timber and land.
We provide reforestations services! Let us plant your trees and spray your brush. Thirty years in the business has taught us that your first effort in reforestation is your best chance to establish full stocking. We can help you decide on the right genetic stock for your site, when to plant and site preparation alternatives. Once your stand is established, you may need stocking control or brush release. Timing is critical. Everyone has opinions on this! Call us and we'll share ours.
