Foresters Incorporated offers a range of services to help you implement sound management activities on your property. These activities can include:

• Marking boundary lines to clearly define your property

• Inspecting your trees for "timber trespass" during or after neighboring logging operations

  • Should we discover that loggers have cut your timber without permission, we can evaluate the value of your loss and help you take appropriate actions

• Inspecting your forest for insect or disease

• Evaluating damage from storms or ice

  • You may be able to claim such losses on your taxes; our staff will work with you to determine the value and help you through the process.

• Marking trees for specific management goals:
  • Releasing "crop trees" - i.e. cutting some trees to allow more desirable species to flourish
  • Improving habitat for specific wildlife species

  • Improving the aesthetic or recreational value of your forest

• Seeding roads or woodland openings to improve habitat and/or control erosion

• Laying out roads or trails properly to minimize environmental impacts and maintenance efforts over time.
  • Combining our experience with topographic layout with the ability to identify optimal road and trail locations using Global Positioning Systems, we will explore a wide variety of possible alternatives to choose the layout that best suits your objectives.

Please contact our office to discuss your management needs with a member of our forestry staff; we'll be happy to evaluate your needs, help you decide on a course of action that meets those needs most economically and effectively, and estimate the costs involved.
