About Us

We work closely with Master Loggers. Jake was an inspector for the  Master logger Certification Program. This is a logger and logging contractor education and certification program, which started in Maine.

We provide all basic forest management services.

It all starts with a Forest Management Plan. This can be a quick assessment of a stand of trees, a more elaborate Tree Growth Tax Plan, or a full fledged, State approved (possibly cost-shared) Stewardship Plan covering not only trees and tree growth, but also wildlife,  recreation, and aesthetic issues, soil conditions, and others concerns.

We offer services for all stages of a harvest or thinning operation. Lay-out and supervision of a harvest, marking and/or marketing of the trees, boundary maintenance work, we use a computerized mapping system, including air photography and satellite imaging, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS),

We will assist landowners to find and mark property lines or map roads, structures, and other features on a property.

We can help with forestry related Tax questions. You can significantly reduce your tax burden when the books are set up in the right way,  when your forest is not taxed for development value, but instead for its tree growth value, and when tax laws  are used in your favor.

And of course we take care of wildlife issues, forested wetland and vernal pool issues, issues with shoreland zoning, and aesthetic issues.

Service Area Coverage:

 

Our service area covers:

                      Hancock County,

                      Penobscot County

                      Waldo County,

And in parts:                 

                      Pisquatiquis County,

                      Washington County,

                      Somerset County,

                      Kennebec County.

In some instances I’ll also travel to other parts of Maine, but this is often not efficient.

We can’t promise you to grow trees like these 500-year old Douglas Fir any time  soon, but we can accelerate growth of most stands here in Maine significantly, and at the same time improve wildlife habitat recreational opportunities and aesthetic appeal. We often can also help to reduce the tax burden for forest land, or secure cost-share programs for forest management planning and timber stand improvement practices. In addition, we are  involved in the attempt to bring FSC group certification to small woodlots in Maine and work closely with the Master Logger program.
