FOREST MANAGEMENT |
| At Timberland Resource Services we have a staff of foresters
working in Georgia who manage over 65,000 acres in middle Georgia.
At present, we have over 25,000 acres of stewardship management plans written for our
clients. These plans help us better provide for your long term plans and is provided at no cost
to most landowners 250 acres and larger.
We are a firm, proficient in using Husky FS2 data recorders along with the TwoDog Appraisal software. We also can verify acres using a March 4 GPS unit as well as digital photographs and the ArcView software programs. This allows us to use statistical analysis to maximize timber cruise acuracy while minimizing time spent in the field. We have a staff forester who worked eight years buying hardwood sawtimber and is very familiar with cruising swamps. Two of our foresters on staff perform cruises for industrial procurement and are familiar with present market grade classifications. We also are hired regularly by major timber companies to perform their timber cruises and mapping for sale publication purposes. We supervise all reforestation activities including heavy site prep, chemical site prep, release spraying, burns, and reforestation. Our specialty in forest management is preparing a management (or stewardship) plan for your land followed by the appropriate and timely execution of timber sales. We believe proper forest management entails the selling of timber that has been cruised, inventoried, and prepared for sale into market strengths. As a proponent of wildlife habitat management, we often find ourselves thinning old stands of slash and long-leaf pine for quail and other wildlife habitat. We often remove the smaller, undesireable trees as well as cankered, forked or limby trees before removing trees of value and structure. This ensures that as a stand ages it is still growing high-value products to give you maximum return per acre. We often thin young planted pines by removing ninth rows and thinning in between. This leaves a stand with larger trees that are better spaced. The resulting larger average diameter of the stems will shorten the stand rotation and increase the net present value of your property.
