WHAT DOES A FORESTER DO FOR YOU
A forester develops a management plan based on the landowners goals and interests for their property. We then tally the timber by species, volume, and approximate value for a timber sale. We advise the landowner on getting the best valuation, while finding a buyer with sound ethics and morals who will do the job as if it was their own property. Having good relationships with timber buyers who are capable of doing great work is important to a smooth timber sale administration. We follow regulatory guidelines for best management practices, including but not limited, to Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans, stream crossing permits, road bonds, and any other applicable permits for a sound timber sale. We are in business to protect your property's future value, while maximizing your financial return. Just like a financial advisor protects your fiscal assets, we are looking out for your property's future in the same respect.

LOW IMPACT LOGGING
At Living On The Edge Woodworks we're always looking for new ways to expand our business portfolio. LOTEW has added a C4 Tree Farmer cable skidder to their operation to offer low impact logging services. The C4 is a very small skidder that can go just about anywhere while creating very little ground disturbance. Under the right management practices timber harvest rotations can be completed on a 10-15 year cycle. Our goal is to create repeat business through best management practices that promote forest health and sustainability, as well as creating relationships based on honesty and integrity in making sure we treat every property we work on as if it were our own.
