If you are interested in having a forest management plan drafted or are interested in a timber harvest, a list of professionals working in the general area can be found by using the link directly above.
Please see links below for a list for the the Lower Peninsula (specifically) and the State of Michigan in general.
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 #: 006-24-021 Date Posted: 5/2/24 Date Closing: 5/16/24 5 PM ET Location: Alpena Co. T29N-R7E Acres:80 (total ownership) Forest Type: Upland deciduous, lowland coniferous Work Requested: This landowner is looking for a forester to oversee a timber harvest on property he has owned since 1985 and on which he lives. The landowner has carefully managed this property, but oak wilt has moved in and he wants to discuss creative options. Forest products would include a mix of oak sawtimber and pulpwood and softwood sawtimber and pulpwood. Expect small volumes, but fairly good quality. He is not looking to harvest a majority of his oak, but scattered trees or pockets. This is NOT a salvage harvest. Soils are sands and sandy loams. Access to the property, and within the property, are excellent.
