Our services

Timber Sales

Timber harvest is an essential tool for the proper management of timberlands in the Southeast. Our region's timberlands are highly productive, and keeping stands in the proper structure throughout rotations is key to promoting vigorous growth and overall health. Thinning prescriptions are extremely important for maintaining stand density at ideal levels and generating revenue for landowners mid-rotation. Final harvests allow landowners to liquidate timber assets and allow opportunities for replanting of desired species to regrow timber investments for the future.

With a strong background in selling and overseeing thousands of acres of timber sales, Jack provides landowners with the best options for timber harvest on their landscape.

Timber Valuation

Timber is an asset in your portfolio as a landowner, and it's essential to understand its value before you decide to sell. BFC offers timber inventory cruises to estimate volume and market value, providing a solid foundation for forest planning, appraisals, timber sales, and tax considerations. An accurate baseline of your timber is essential for documenting losses in the event of natural disasters.

Forest Planning + Silvicultural Treatments

Forest Planning is the process of compiling stand information, analyzing characteristics, and creating a plan for the landowner that outlines the most appropriate silvicultural treatments to meet their landowner goals. Harvest plans are developed for each stand of timber, establishing a timeline for thinning intervals and final harvest rotations.
‍
Silvicultural treatments include thinning, herbicide application, fertilizer application, prescribed fire, final harvests, replanting, and site preparation.

These processes are tools used to create stand characteristics that align with the landowner's overall goals, including timber production, forest health, wildlife habitat, recreation, water quality, and other values.

Reforestation & Site Preparation

After harvest, we analyze the characteristics of the previous stand to determine optimizations for the next cohort, such as changes in species selection, stocking density/spacing, or site preparation. Our goal is to plant healthy, productive timber stands that will leave a lasting legacy on the landscape.

Prescribed Fire

Prescribed fire is a land management tool that replicates natural fire cycles in a controlled and intentional manner. In many cases, controlled burns are the most cost-effective silvicultural tool for maintaining a productive and resilient landscape. Implementing a fire rotation plan reduces wildfire risk, improves wildlife habitat, and enhances overall forest health.

ArcGIS Pro Mapping

We create or update legacy maps using ArcGPS Pro and drone technology. Land is a valuable asset, and visual records are a vital part of your portfolio.Our common map types include stand/timber type, harvest, replanting, general aerial, soils, riparian, locator, topographic, boundary, ecoregion, watershed, and custom maps tailored to client needs.

Drone Footage & Mapping

BFC can capture high-quality aerial video and images of your property.Drones provide advanced mapping capabilities for more accurate timber type maps and stand boundaries, and can be used to monitor forest health including detecting pest or disease infestations.

Landscape & Forestry Management Plans

BFC offers a comprehensive Landscape Management Plan (LMP) for landowners seeking a detailed, written and visual strategy for their long-term timberland management goals.

The LMP includes a portfolio of maps, stand characteristics estimated during a custom timber cruise, compiled forest planning details for each stand of timber, and an outline of necessary silvicultural treatments to meet goals.

Road Maintenance & Creek Crossings

BFC understands your state's Best Management Practices (BMPs) and is committed to maintaining high water quality while ensuring a well-planned network of woods roads for full access across your landscape. We also ensure creek crossings are properly installed to support stream health and maintain access across riparian areas.
