The Referral Process - For The Landowner
Should you want to pursue forest management after meeting with Greg (see previous webpage):
- 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.
- 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.
- It is up to the landowner to call the forest resource professionals and choose with whom they would like to work.
- 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 #: 004-25-032 Date Posted: 7/3/25 Date Closing: 7/17/25 5 PM ET Location: Alpena Co., T29N-R5E
Acres: 80 (total ownership) Forest Type: Oak-maple
Work Requested: This landowner is looking for a professional to oversee a timber sale under the Qualified Forest Program (and recent ice storm). The timber is mostly 10+" dbh northern red oak and red maple, with oak wilt having impacted the stand. Soils are mostly loamy sands. Access to the property and in the property are excellent.
Project #: 004-25-033 Date Posted: 7/1/25 Date Closing: 7/15/25 5 PM ET Location: Alpena Co., T32N-R8E Acres: 24 (total ownership) Forest Type: Oak-maple
Work Requested: This landowner wants to deal with his northern red oak-dominated forest before oak wilt arrives. Oaks are 10-20" dbh, with good form. Soils are mostly silt loams, sand, loamy sand. Access to the property is very good and within the property excellent. A brief management plan may be part of the timber sale.
Project #: 006-25-022 Date Posted: 6/25/25 Date Closing: 7/9/25 5 PM ET Location: Oscoda Co., T28N-R1E Acres: 80 (total ownership) Forest Type: Upland 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 this approximately 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+" in diameter 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.
