Whether you have one goal or many, it helps to make a list — starting with what's most important to you. Every forest is different, and how it's managed depends on your personal vision for your property. Understanding your goals, helps us design a plan that's truly unique to you.

​

Some common goals include:

• Timber Management

• Wildlife Management

• Forest Health

• Recreation

• Aesthetics

• Monetary Return 

Whether you’re planning a small harvest or a large-scale management project, we’ll make sure every step is handled efficiently, sustainably, and with your goals in mind.

Every forest is unique — and each comes with its own opportunities and limitations. Here in western-cetral PA, most are mixed hardwoods - oak, maple, cherry, and hickory, with some pine and hemock mixed in. Each forest type grows and regenerates differently, shaping how it should be managed.

​

Whether your property is an early successional stand ready for its first thinning or a mature hardwood forest approaching a selective harvest, we’ll help you understand its condition, potential, and the best path forward to meet your goals.

Every forest goal takes time. A simple timber sale might take only a few months, while broader management goals can span years. Most forest management plans cover a 10–20 year period to guide long-term success.

​

Some prescriptions, like invasive species control, take ongoing attention. Staying consistent ensures your efforts pay off and your forest continues to thrive.
