Guidance on Market Conditions

Timber is a commodity like any other. For instance, farmers will check the market for the price of beef before selling cattle but most don't think of checking the selling price of white oak. Oftentimes the only timber price advice they receive is from the buyer.
People don't usually rely on having the value of an asset determined by the buyer; they seek the advice of a professional who is working for their best interest -- not the buyer's best interest. BFS foresters are not affiliated with any lumber companies. They can go out and receive the best competitive price for the landowner.

Environmental Impact

Involvement and oversight of a consulting forester assures proper harvesting, road building and restoration practices are followed to minimize environmental and aesthetic impact.

Woodland Management

Trees are a crop -- no tree should be harvested before it's ready. BFS will give you guidance on which trees should be harvested, or remain, based on:

• Maturity
• Species
• Health
• Growing Space Relationship
• Wildlife Enhancement
• Landowner objectives
