How it Works
Let us help you get started today
Your initial consultation and site visit are typically free. This is where we capture your vision and long-term goals for your property. We assess your resources and begin to come up with strategies of how we can incorporate management systems to achieve those goals.
Based on decisions made at the Initial Consultation, we begin preparing the project and completing field work. Once field work is completed, we will consult with you again for “next steps”.
We evaluate markets based on products and time of year. We coordinate and plan projects based on contractor availability. When the markets look good, we contact you and move forward with the project.
All contracts are signed, prescriptions are written, and harvest begins. You should plan on being available the first couple days of harvest to share your thoughts and make decisions. Harvest continues until project is completed.
When harvest is completed, all final work is done to slash piles, skid trails, roads are repaired or graded, and final payment is made to the landowner. Next steps could include: Post-Harvest Fuels Treatment, tree planting, grass seeding, burn slash piles, etc.
