Why should a landowner use a Forestry Consultant? Some of the best quality hardwoods in the world grow in western Pennsylvania. Black Cherry, Maple, Oak and Walnut are highly sought after. Most landowners are not aware of the value of standing timber and it can vary tremendously according to species and quality. An independent Forestry Consultant works for the land owner and represents their interests. They will make an initial evaluation, usually at no cost, and then work with the landowner to help them manage their woodland according to their objectives. If a landowner chooses to market their standing timber a Forestry Consultant can assure they receive the best possible price, usually through a bid process, and then manage the project through completion. Hardwood timber is a valuable and renewable resource. Properly managed hardwood timber can be an on going source of income for the landowner. A Forestry Consultant can be a source of information to help the landowner manage this resource wisely.
