Forest Management Planning
We work with landowners to create forest management plans that are tailored specifically to individual properties. Plans are developed in accordance with best management practices to help you achieve your management goals and to address or prevent natural resource concerns on your forested land.
Having a management plan can help you gain access to a variety of financial incentive programs (see Financial Assistance Programs below for more details).
Are you are interested in receiving financial assistance to improve your 5+ acres of forested property? Do you want to convert your land to forest? Contact us to determine if a forest management plan is right for you!
Wildfires & Firewise
Wildfires are an increasing threat to rural communities in Western Washington. The good news is structural fires resulting from wildfire conditions can be prevented with some guided help.
Our staff can conduct a Home Ignition Zone Assessment to help you understand the risks wildfires pose to any buildings or other structures on your property. We can help you understand and implement proven prescriptions set forth by the National Fire Protection Agency for vegetation management within the 100’ “Firewise” zone surrounding your home and other structures.
