Sustainable Forest Management Planning & Certification

Based on landowner objectives, we develop adaptive forest management plans, or update existing plans, to incorporate activities that promote the production of multiple forest resources over the long-term. Silvicultural treatments can be recommended to promote not only a higher quality timber resource, but also a host of other benefits, including, but not limited to: enhanced biodiversity (both flora and fauna), water filtration, soil stabilization, carbon sequestration, and aesthetic values. We prepare holistic harvest prescriptions and prescribed burn treatment plans so your forest can provide these multiple ecosystem services for generations to come.

For forest carbon offset projects, Green Assets coordinates with landowners to ensure their property’s management plan and activities align with program requirements. This includes direct guidance on managing age classes, species composition, and biomass stocking levels. We also offer the ability to certify properties with approved forest certification programs such as the American Tree Farm System, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and the Forest Stewardship Council.
