| A forest management plan is a detailed, scientific report based upon sound field data and YOUR goals and objectives. |
Shown here is Todd Miller, Forestery Specialist for Grossman Forestry. Todd collects data out in the field and uses state of the art technology to prepare his scientific reports for clients.
A well thought out forest management plan should describe your property by stand or timber type. |
|
|
Each stand type should have information pertaining to tree species, average diameters and volumes, cutting guidelines, harvesting schedules, wildlife recommendations, Best Management Practices (BMP's) to improve and maintain soil and water quality, and reforestation practices when needed.
The plan should include:
- A Copy of Aerial Photograph
- Soils Map
- Detailed Forest Type Map

Small Woodlot Management
The natural woodlot is an apparently simple place. Its esthetic elements don't appear to be complex; clean water, timber, wildlife. And yet, the mature woodland is the product of many biological cycles. New growth evolves. Decay leads to regeneration. The process can be slow and subtle. But at every stage, the desirable pattern of forest development can be identified and encouraged through knowledgeable and expert management. Forest care benefits both the woodland property and its owner by appropriately maximizing the kind of healthy, balanced growth that facilitates both land and habitat improvement.
