It is our goal to assure our customers the best project results to achieve the best ecological conditions, and to ensure customer satisfaction.

Management Planning

Management planning is used in conservation to describe a site, consider goals and design a series of activities to be completed over time to reach a desired outcome.

Often, management activities include boundary identification, mapping, vegetation management, monitoring and reevaluation.

Vegetation management is generally carried out through forestry practices, mowing, brush cutting, or clearing. Forestry may produce revenue, while brush cutting, clearing, and mowing are generally performed at a cost to a landowner.

All of these activities are incorporated into a management plan in order to reach a future desired condition of land. The desired condition may be a well-stocked mature forest, a forest with a healthy canopy and tree regeneration developing on the forest floor, or a vigorous field free from invasive species.

The timeline considered in a management plan is important for planning not only work to be completed, but also in planning expenses and revenues to be generated from management.

5, 10, and 20 year management periods are common; forest maturity often spans several management periods. In Massachusetts, the management period for current-use assessment is ten years, at which time a Forest Management Plan needs to be prepared with a reevaluation of your property.

Forest management incorporating natural processes takes patience; goals are often accomplished over several years or decades. In some management strategies, mature trees are harvested after over 200 years of growth.
