Our services are basically timberland management wherein we promote the maximum forest growth in a given period of time.  Our complete management services consist of the following:

1.  We will promptly inventory all of your property by making a timber cruise and then furnish you a timber inventory, appraisal, and detailed timberland management plan setting up a cutting schedule, stand improvement recommendations, and other various management techniques. There will be an initial one-time fee quoted for this service.  (NOTE:  In following years, when a timber inventory is needed the fee is included in the management agreement.)

2.  We will establish and paint all outside boundary lines within one year after taking over management.

3.  Our management plan will be followed when selling any of your timber; of course, any timber sale or any other part of the management plan will only be carried out upon your authorization.

4.  All timber to be harvested will be marked selectively which is approximately a third of the mature timber.  A 100% tally of all trees marked will be furnished to the landowner and to all prospective buyers.

5.  We locate markets for all marked timber so that maximum value may be obtained.  This is done by accepting sealed competitive bids on each individual sale and includes the handling of all details of timber sales, for example: Sales agreements, timber deeds, and etc.

6.  Personal inspection of harvesting operations to insure proper cutting procedures will be carried out following the cut.

7.  Annual inspections will also be made by air or ground to check for fire, insects, and/or trespass.

8.  Any type of stand improvement work, such as elimination of hardwood brush or tree planting, will be carried out at actual cost to you.  However, any stand improvement work will be done only if authorized by you.  We charge for our forestry supervision, which involves the actual cost for labor, social security, worker's compensation and etc.   

9.  Any and all types of encroachments, such as pipeline, powerline, highway rights-of-way, oil well locations and others will be appraised for you.  An appraisal charge will be assessed against any company requiring any part of your property. This charge is added to the total settlement and collected from the company involved.  You will then reimburse this firm's cost of appraisal fee that we have collected from the company.  Encroachments such as theft of timber is evaluated and collected at our regular fee.  Public utility rights-of-way will be appraised and our fee is based on the volume of forest products cut and removed by the utility involved.

Our fee for the above mentioned management services is a percentage of the revenue received from all sawtimber products cut from your property and a percentage of the revenue from all pulpwood cut from your property. 

The greatest value obtained from our services is in the fact that we are working for the landowner and not for a timber dealer who might be buying the timber.  Our service places timber sales on a competitive, business-like basis and protects the landowner fully instead of having to depend entirely upon the integrity of the timber buyer.
