What Are My Other Alternatives?
The State Division of Forestry employs professional foresters who provide forestry services to landowners. State foresters are limited by state policies as to the amount and kinds of services they can offer.
State foresters are not allowed to become directly involved in private timber sales. They are also prohibited from giving private landowners a monetary appraisal of timber. State foresters are not allowed to make trespass investigations or damage appraisals. A consulting forester should be contacted in cases of legal disputes.
Some private forest products companies or sawmills also employ professional foresters who may provide forest management services to private landowners. These foresters are restricted by company policies and their primary obligation is to their employer.
A consulting forester is not bound by any public or private policies. He is an independent professional and is able to provide whatever forestry services you may need when you need them.
