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 #:  006-26-015   Date Posted: 5/26/26    Date Closing: 6/09/26 5 PM ET   Location: Montmorency Co., T31N-R3E             
Acres: 40  Forest Type: Mixed pine-oak-aspen-maple
Work Requested:  This hunting camp is enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program and has a harvest planned for 2028. The landowners would like to begin the discussion of the future harvest with a forester now, and be ahead of the game. The forest stand is a mix of eastern white pine, red pine, aspen, red oak, and red maple. Forest products would be mixed: bolts, pulpwood, sawtimber. Atypical approaches to the harvest, such as variable density thinning or variable retention harvesting, would be appreciated. Soils are mostly sands. Access to the property and within the property are very good.

Project #:  071-26-001   Date Posted: 5/18/26    
Date Closing: 6/01/26 5 PM ET   Location: Presque Isle Co., T34N-R2E             
Acres:   218 (total ownership, ~20 ac treated)  Forest Type: Red pine plantation/eastern white pine plantation
Work Requested:  This landowner lives on the property and is looking for a harvest in pine plantations impacted by the recent ice storm. Trees are in relatively good shape. Even damaged trees are likely viable in terms of forest products, with a range of tree diameters of 8-16" dbh. As many as 6-8 8' sticks in many of the trees. Mixed forest products would be expected. Access to the site and within the site are good. A complete removal of the pine is a possibility.
