Forest Management Services
​

We work with a trusted team of contractors to handle any forestry project, from a single afternoon visit to a full timber harvest. If we’re not the right fit, or you can get a service for free through a public provider like WSU Extension, your local conservation district or the DNR Small Forest Landowner Office, we’ll point you there. We’re here for projects of all sizes: forest management plans, harvests, research and development.
Planning & Assessment

• Forest management planning & consultations: for land of any size. Our plans meet county requirements for Designated Forest Land (DFL) and current use tax programs, qualify you for cost-share funding, and give you a clear, practical roadmap for your goals.
• Forest inventory, cruising & monitoring: find out what you have, how much it’s worth, and how it’s changing over time. Useful before a harvest, sale, estate decision or land purchase.
• Forest health consultations (2 hrs): a walk through your woods to answer your questions about diseased or dying trees, crowding, pests, invasive plants and fire risk. A great starting point if you’re not sure you need a full plan. 
• Forest analysis & research: custom research projects, reports and analysis, harvest and revenue projections - for nonprofits, public entities, and private landowners.
• Forest tax preparation & harvest reporting: help with the paperwork that comes with a harvest or forest tax classification, so nothing gets missed.

On-the-Ground Work & Markets

• Timber harvesting & local wood sales: selective, ecological harvests that improve your forest while earning income. We sell to local mills, including our partner, the Jefferson Timber Cooperative, so your wood can stay in the community.
• Ecological restoration, replanting & afforestation: thinning, planting, invasive control and habitat work to bring overstocked or degraded land back to health.
• Trail design & construction: custom designed trails that fit the land, limit erosion and let you enjoy your forest.
• Fire risk reduction & fuels mitigation: practical work around homes and across your property to lower wildfire risk.
• Cost-share & funding assistance: many landowners qualify for NRCS and DNR programs that pay for part of the work. We’ll help you find and apply for them.
• Local wood sourcing & market development: for builders, designers and homeowners who want wood from local, responsibly managed forests.
• Timber marketing & specialty wood markets: getting the best value for your logs, including specialty and niche markets for wood that doesn’t fit the commodity mold.

Certification & More

• FSC Forest Management Certification: join our FSC group certificate starting in 2027. Small landowners can get certified affordably through one shared management plan, opening access to certified markets.
• Sustainable forest certification auditing (FSC, SFI, PEFC, ATFS): independent audit support for forest owners and organizations.
• Workshops & speaking events: talks, field tours and hands-on workshops for landowners, community groups and conferences.
• Research projects: we partner on forestry, wood products and rural economic development research. Ask us for a company profile.
