Why Forest Management Matters
With a forest management company, landowners get support balancing environmental, economic, and social needs while protecting biodiversity and the ecosystem.
Forest Management Benefits
Forest management plans can be built on a range of objectives. Green Timber, as a forest management professional, will meet with landowners to determine the objectives that most closely align with their needs and vision. These focuses can include protecting biodiversity, harvesting timber responsibly, following sustainability practices, maintaining and expanding carbon storage to mitigate climate change, protecting wildlife, and preventing erosion.
Establishing Forest Management Plans
The forest management services companies like Green Timber produce will align with your vision as a landowner and provide clear actions and techniques to follow. Our recommendations as a forest management company may include recommendations for planting new trees or restoring lost trees, clearing specific areas of the property to create space and light for other trees to grow, enlisting in controlled burning to reduce wildfire risk, sustainable harvesting with reforestation, and creating protected areas and reserves.
Do you need a forest management plan?
Our forest management planning teams will work with you, the landowner, directly to determine your needs and decide on a plan that best aligns with your vision. Our forest management plans range from a simple map with a few short pages detailing our recommended harvest approach to a complete and complex document that outlines your forested land, the soil, the wildlife resources, and the property history followed by our management recommendations and the reasoning behind the recommended forest management plan implementation.
Our team of forest management plan professionals work with you to create a plan that aligns with your needs. Our forest management planning teams will also help you find incentives - including forest management grants, subsidies, and cost share opportunities - that may benefit your vision and help maintain your land for generations to come. Green Timber’s forest management planning team can help you develop an NRCS Forest Management Plan that can offer large rates of cost share, which typically lowers the landowners out of pocket costs for the plan.
Unsure how to determine which forest management plan is best for you and forested land? Our forest management team offers a quiz to help understand how we can best help you. Effective forest management plans create sustainable futures by maintaining a balance of conservation and economic and human development.
