What We
Offer
A Woodland Stewardship Plan gives landowners a clear, customized guide for managing their forest to meet goals like improving wildlife habitat, enhancing timber value, or restoring native ecosystems. It also opens the door to technical assistance and cost-share opportunities, helping landowners make informed, long-term decisions that protect and enhance their woodland’s value.
Invasive Species Management
Forestry services for managing invasive species like buckthorn include identifying infestations, developing treatment strategies, and implementing mechanical or chemical control methods to restore native plant communities. These services help improve forest health, increase biodiversity, and support long-term regeneration of desirable tree and understory species.
Aerial Photography
Aerial imagery provides a comprehensive, bird’s-eye view of forest landscapes, making it easier to map stand boundaries, assess storm damage, and monitor changes over time. This visual data supports efficient planning for harvests, regeneration, and habitat improvements while reducing the need for time-intensive ground surveys.
Tree Inspections and Assessments
Having trees assessed or inspected in urban areas—especially near homes, barns, or other structures—is crucial for both safety and tree health. Trees in these settings are often exposed to stressors that don't exist in natural forest environments, such as soil compaction, poor drainage, pollution, and construction damage. These stressors can weaken trees over time, making them more susceptible to disease, decay, and structural failure.
Forest Canopy Health Assessments
Forest canopy health assessments using multispectral imagery allow for the early detection of stress, disease, and nutrient deficiencies by analyzing light reflectance patterns across various wavelengths. This advanced technology enables land managers to monitor forest conditions over time, prioritize treatment areas, and make data-driven decisions to improve overall forest health.
The Minnesota Forestry Association's Call Before You Cut (CBYC) program offers free, professional forestry guidance to landowners considering timber harvests, providing up to a half-day woodland walkthrough to assess the suitability of a harvest. This service helps landowners make informed decisions that align with their goals for income, wildlife habitat enhancement, or forest health improvement, ensuring sustainable management of their woodlands.
