Not only does the consultant get the landowner more money, the consultant’s knowledge of logging practices, contracts, and sale procedures will assure the landowners, Your interests are protected with professional care. When a forest is mistreated or cut improperly, it may take a generation or more to recover.

Consultant fees for activities other than timber sales depend on the type of job, travel distance and the amount of time required.
