Timberline Forestry offers two separate document preparation services for the express purpose of land management.  Those are tract assessments, which are reconnaissance based and forest management plans, which are both reconnaissance and inventory based.

Forest management plans

A management plan is an outline of what the landowner(s) would like to see the land become over time.  It expIains the land in detail and the actions designed over time to reach and sustain those goals.

A comprehensive 7-part plan is offered that addresses the practical aspects of land management.  The 7 parts are:

1. Name and location of the tract.
2. Ownership and stakeholders contact information.
3. Owners and stakeholder goals and objectives and order of importance.
4. An accurate map of the tract including stand delineation by acreage and forest type, man-made structures,
     and special natural attributes of the tract based on aerial or satellite imagery, field reconnaissance and
     inventory data.
5. A current inventory of the quantitative resource attributes of each stand within the tract¹.
6. A tract overview assessment discussion.
7. Recommended management actions that will most efficiently accomplish the owners objectives, leading to
     reaching listed goals.

¹Each plan contains unique information based on client needs.
 

Timberline Forestry’s forest management plans can range from small documents with simple maps to complex files that include a GIS database and financial analysis of the aggregate of individual stands.

Timber Appraisals

This service is strongly recommended to anyone who owns forest land and is contemplating offering timber for sale, but does not know the value of the timber.
Standing timber is a valuable commodity and without a good estimate of the volume of timber offered for sale and the current market rate associated with that timber, there is a good chance a landowner will lose far more than the cost of this service. In many cases, even tracts as small as 20 acres contain timber values above and beyond the price of what the land would sell for on the real estate market.  When Timberline Forestry appraises your standing timber, not only will you recieve an appropriate appraisal figure, you will also recieve objective information pertinent to the management of the tract so that your land is maintained appropriately.  For more information, click here.
