Timber
Sale Coordination and Associated Services. Let FMS
put our training and experience to work for you, to get the most
for your standing timber. We are familiar with local harvesting
conditions, markets, and buyers, and we can "level the playing
field" when it comes to selling your timber. This knowledge
has helped FMS to obtain prices up to three times what some landowners
were able to obtain on their own.
FMS is also familiar
with state and federal regulations that could impact forestry
operations on your property and has all of the current licenses
and registrations to legally assist with your timber sale. In
an effort to avoid the potential for conflict of interest, FMS
does not buy standing timber. Instead, we assist landowners by
coordinating their timber sale and subsequent reforestation efforts.

| Forest
Appraisals. Whether it is for the establishment of a
tax basis, timber theft cases, purchase of property, or for estate
planning purposes, FMS will appraise the value of your timber. By
using professionally accepted sampling methods and current market
prices, FMS can help you to more accurately estimate the value of
your forest resources. [return to top of page] |

Forest
Management Plans. FMS has a great deal of experience
assisting landowners in meeting their multiple-use goals. We are
familiar with current management techniques for timber production,
wildlife habitat improvement, recreational opportunities, aesthetic
enhancement, and real estate development. We are capable of making
recommendations that will help you get the most from your forestland,
both economically and environmentally! [return

Care
Programs. Today, many landowners do not live on the forestland
that they own and are often unaware of the current condition of their
property. For this reason, FMS offers to monitor the property of absentee
landowners on a regularly scheduled basis. We can customize our monitoring
services to meet the needs of individual landowners; however, this service
usually includes: monitoring for timber trespass, signs of unauthorized
hunting, signs of insect or disease damage, and illegal dumping. In
addition, the general condition of roads, fences, gates, other man-made
improvements, property lines, farmland, and forest resources are also
checked. As an added benefit, we also offer a 10% discount on all
of our other services for those under the Care Program! [return
