* Timber Sales: Getting professional services when selling timber is extremely important. I can not put enough emphasis on the importance of knowing exactly how much timber you have and its market value.

• My services for selling timber includes: Timber measuring, grading, marking, marketing to potential buyers (loggers, sawmills, and veneer mills), timber sale contracts (in depth and seller friendly), and logging inspections. 
  
• Trees to be harvested and sold will either be marked with paint (marked sale) or by a prism cruise/inventory (cruise sale). Trees to be harvested in a marked sale will be painted at head high and on the stump, trees to be harvested on a cruise sale will be based on a stump diameter. Thus insures that only the trees that where inventoried will be harvested.

​* Timber Appraisals: It is important to know and understand the value of your timber asset.

•  A timber appraisal is an estimate of the standing timber value, which is accomplished through a timber inventory/cruise.
•  Timber inventories and appraisals are useful in determining your land (timber) basis, the quality and value of your timber asset, estate planning,and projecting possible income from timber sales.

* Management Plans: Getting professional services can help you achieve your goals. Knowing your timber resources will help you meet short and long range objectives.

•  A written plan includes a description of your property, with recommendations for each area.
•  Written plan describing timber characteristics (specie composition, size class distribution, timber volume and quality, etc.)
  
•  This service can be useful in achieving Forest Certification, in wildlife habitat management, recreation enhancement, soil protection, and of course growing productive, healthy timber.
  

* Timber Stand Improvements: Is your timber suffering and or not reaching its maximum growth potential?

• Timber stand improvement encourages faster growth and better forest health, an improved mix of species, and optimal wildlife habitat. Timber stand improvement is an action that landowners can take to improve their woodlands immediately.
  
• Four common methods of timber stand improvement include crop tree release, low thinning, cull tree removal, and invasive specie removal.
  
• Removal techniques include basal bark treatments, girdling, girdling with herbicide, hack and squirt (herbicide), or by cutting down smaller trees (less than 6 inches in diameter).
