Foresters Incorporated can help you meet the demands of modern forest management with traditional services such as contract inventory work, and nontraditional ones such as inventory design, site productivity analysis, and certification preparation:

• Forest Inventory Design and Implementation - Our crews can conduct and manage inventory projects using either your inventory design or a custom design created by our biometricians and foresters for your project. To increase productivity and accuracy, we use the most advanced field computers and inventory software available and provide both printed and GIS-compatible electronic results.

• Forest Management and Monitoring - Our foresters can develop and help you implement long-term forest management and monitoring plans, including stand delineation, harvest layout & planning, stand prescriptions, post-harvest services, and maintenance activities such as boundary marking, insect/disease or storm damage inspections, and resource monitoring. As with our inventory services, we can provide electronic data and maps for your GIS or other database system, as well as printed results.

• Certification Services - If you are interested in pursuing third-part certification, we can help prepare your company for the assessment by conducting the necessary inventories, performing pre-assessment reviews to pinpoint problem areas, developing management plans keyed to certification guidelines, and working with you throughout the process.

• GIS and Mapping Services - If you are interested in developing or adding to your forest information systems database, we can help you gather data, create maps, and link new and existing information together into a comprehensive system.

• Growth and Yield Analysis and Natural Resource and Financial Planning - Our staff biometrician and financial analyst can provide the information you need to define objectives and plan initiatives for your company resources. We combine inventory information with site productivity and growth data to estimate future forest product volumes, then conduct a financial analysis to estimate value growth over time.

• Technology - Because forest management grows increasingly complex, and foresters find themselves needing to work faster and more efficiently than ever before, we offer both software and hardware to help you do your job. TwoDog Forest Inventory Software is a comprehensive package that allows you to design the inventories, gather the data, and calculate the results you need. Juniper Systems and Itronix Husky field computers make it easier than ever to record data accurately and quickly - they go anywhere you do.

• Other Services - As experience forestry professionals, we also offer a range of other services, including land use planning, ecosystem management planning, wildlife habitat analysis, research design and measurement, and vegetative sampling. Please contact our office to discuss your needs.
