“We envision ecologically, economically, and socially responsible forestry as the standard for professional forest management” – Forest Steward’s Guild

“A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community.” –Aldo Leopold

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul” – John Muir

Vision Statement

Our forestry practice prioritizes the landowner’s objectives while focusing on the ecological integrity of the forest. We respect the natural processes that take place around us and adapt our thinking as the science of forest management evolves.

A consulting forester is not just a one-time service provider. A forester provides long-term guidance and institutional memory for landowners, often stewarding the same land through multiple generations or changes in ownership.

This continuous legacy of management provides significant advantages, as a forester is keenly in tune with how a particular parcel of land has responded to previous treatments. With this knowledge, the forester will have a better intuitive “feel” for how the forest will mature.
