Who needs a Consulting Forester?

Oak Leaves

Attorneys, banker, CPA's, doctors and others know the value of seeking expertise from other professionals to resolve technical questions outside their area of knowledge. One measure of a professional is his ability to discern when he needs help from other professionals and his willingness to seek it.

Forestry is a complex and technical discipline, combining aspects of wildlife habitat management, soil and water conservation, as well as silviculture and business management. This expert advice is needed for appraisals of timber and other forest resources, management planning, the selection and sale of forest products, forestry computer applications, resource analysis, forest taxation and estate questions.

In essence, most prudent owners desiring to enhance their forest's biological vigor, short term income, and long term investment potential should consider the services of a seasoned consulting forester. Lastly, forestland owners wishing to pass their forest legacy to their heirs, or other future woodland stewards, should consider professional forestry services.
