The Referral Process - For The Landowner

Should you want to pursue forest management after meeting with Greg (see previous webpage):
  1. Your profile will be confidentially posted to our website for a two-week period during which forest resource professionals will have the opportunity to express interest in your project. Please note that no personal information will be available on the website; only a basic profile and general location of your land will be made available in order to help consultants effectively express interest in your project.
  2. Greg will compile a list of forest resource professionals who have expressed interest in helping you with your specific project and will provide further guidance on working with foresters.  
  3. It is up to the landowner to call the forest resource professionals and choose with whom they would like to work.
  4. Greg will be available to follow up with you, answer any future questions, and help you with future forestry and non-game wildlife-related issues.  ​

The Referral Process - For The Forest Resource Professional

Project #:  006-26-006   Date Posted: 1/21/26    Date Closing: 2/4/26 5 PM ET   Location: Otsego Co., T28N-R1E             
​
Acres:  40 (total ownership)  Forest Type: Upland coniferous (mixed-pine)
Work Requested:  Landowners in this homeowners association are looking for a professional to write a very focused forest management plan and then potentially oversee a timber harvest in short order. Approximately 10 homes are distributed across 80 acres with the neighboring property (which may also participate) similarly arranged. The thinning or variable retention harvest would yield a mix of red pine, eastern white pine, jack pine, oak, and aspen sawlogs and pulpwood. Much of the red pine is 12+" dbh and 4-5 sticks per tree. Some damaged plantation red pine would likely be addressed, but much of the timber has not been impacted by the ice storm. Access to the property and within the property are very good. Soils are mostly sands.

Project #:  006-26-005   Date Posted: 1/13/26    Date Closing: 1/27/26 5 PM ET   
Location: Montmorency Co., T31N-R4E             
​
Acres:  40 (total ownership)  Forest Type: Upland coniferous, lowland coniferous
Work Requested:  This deer camp is enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program and is looking to conduct a timber sale. Soils are an upland complex and muck. Overstory is dominated by jack pine and red pine, with some lowland conifers mixed in. Forest products would be mixed pulpwood and sawtimber. Access to the property is excellent and within the property good.
