Forest Management Plans
Our staff of Registered Foresters is ready to assist you in realizing your forest management and wildlife management goals for your property through the implementation of sound forestry practices that preserve the integrity of both our environment and the Henderson name.
GIS & Mapping
The ability to accurately illustrate a forest property and all of its elements has changed immensely over the past 20 years. While the key elements of a well-prepared map remain the same, the increase in the capability to modify and recreate maps adaptable to the dynamic structure of a working forest is almost immeasurable.
Reforestation
Whether you are interested in reforesting your land following a timber harvest, or establishing trees in a previously unforested area, Henderson Forestry Consultants can assist you in ensuring that you make the best possible selections of species, seedling type, seedling genetics, planting spacing, and planting method.
Site Preparation
Whether reforesting an area after a timber harvest, or establishing trees in a previously unforested space, it is recommended that the site in question be evaluated by one of our Foresters to determine the necessity of Site Preparation. One of the greatest impediments to the establishment of healthy vigorous trees is competing vegetation.
Timber Inventory & Appraisals
The decisions that you make with regards to your land and timber should be based upon sound field data collected by Forestry professionals. Whether you require a detailed inventory and appraisal of your forestland for a land transaction or simply wish to know the current value of your timber assets on the open market, Henderson Forestry Consultants can assist you with your needs.
Timber Sales
With year-round involvement in timber transactions, Henderson Forestry Consultants has a strong insight into timber market fluctuations and levels of demand for specific forest products. The techniques utilized when marketing and selling timber are critical in achieving the landowner’s objectives. No matter what your end goal, HFC can determine the best way to meet your needs.
Timber Stand Improvement
Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) operations are utilized to control undesired plant species, forest pests such as insects, and forest diseases that degrade the health and, in turn, marketability of forestlands. TSI operations have the ability to not only preserve the investment that is your forest property and the timber growing therein, but also to further expand its potential for economic yields.
Forestry Programs & Certifications
There are many Forestry Programs and certifications that honor one’s commitment to sound forest stewardship. We can assist you in selecting the ones that best suit your vision for your property. Our Forest Management Plans satisfy the requirements of many of these programs and can be tailored to meet your individual needs.
Timber Tax Planning & Assistance
Many landowners fail to capitalize on federal tax incentives provided to landowners who are actively managing their forest properties. Let Henderson Forestry Consultants be your timber tax advocate by aiding you in timber tax planning, keeping you well-informed as to the various opportunities for tax reductions, and guiding you through the various application processes.
Property Protection
Maintaining one’s forest property can be a challenging task. From trespassers, timber theft, and wildfire, there are no shortage of risks to forestland owners’ investments. These risks can be greatly reduced by establishing and maintaining property boundaries, fire-line installation, and prescribed burning.
