Our Services

Everything it takes to manage timber and land.

Eight core services covering the full life of your woods — planning, planting, improving, harvesting, and protecting. All across Central & Southern Illinois.

01

Forest Stewardship Plans

A written, long-term roadmap for your property built around your goals — whether that's timber income, wildlife, recreation, or simply healthy woods. Plans can qualify your land for reduced property-tax assessment and cost-share programs.

Timber Appraisals & Sales

Know what your timber is worth before you sell. We provide honest appraisals and manage the sale start to finish — marking, bidding, and contracts — so you get fair value and your land is left in good shape.

Forest Stand Improvement

Targeted thinning and timber stand improvement (TSI) that removes low-value and competing trees so your best timber grows faster and healthier. Good for both wood value and wildlife.

Invasive Species Control

Take back your woods from bush honeysuckle, autumn olive, and other invasives that crowd out native growth. We use targeted cutting and treatment to clear them and keep them from coming back.
