timber inventory: Appraising Big Timber Tracts Quickly and Accurately!

Appraising Big Timber Tracts Quickly and Accurately! The key tool is Statistics. The Foresters at Woodland Management Service do Appraise forests of all sizes ranging from individual urban trees to large tracts as large as a half million acres. Considering that it takes a day to measure and appraise a group of trees in a yard you would think that it would take weeks to measure a forty, or decades to measure a large half million acre tract. Luckily for our clients, as the properties get larger, our samples get smaller. On very small properties where the diversity is proportionally larger we need to measure … (12 comments)
timber inventory: Adirondack Timber Cruising, Weller Pond, a Well-Hidden Gem

Without the keys, the hiking will be rough, but rewarding with plenty … (11 comments)

Relaxing On the Shores of Marquette One of my favorite cities in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is the city of Marquette. I had not been here in several years when I stopped here last week while checking on a Forest Inventory project we are working on North of here in the Huron Mountains. On this day while others were hard at work in the woods, I took a break and watered the dogs in Lake Superior, admired the view, took a few pics, and spoke with a cute lifeguard who told the dogs they had to go as soon as they got a drink. Fortunately I … (8 comments)
These are a few shots from a recent trip we took to the Northern part of Michigan for a 400,000 acre inventory and appraisal.
I hope you enjoyed a small glimpse into a timber cruise, or inventory.
