Not quite sure where your property ends and your neighbor’s begins? AFM foresters can help with that! Well-established boundary lines and maintenance can determine whether that swimming hole is your oasis, whether the beaver activity can be solved on your own, or if you need to give your neighbor a ring. They can also tell you if those dying trees are on your property or if something is happening nearby that you need to keep tabs on. Seeing a distinct boundary helps you determine your management needs!

AFM conducted fieldwork for a timber cruise and management plan for a private landowner in Central Oregon. Brooke Durnin, Forester in Spokane, WA, collaborated with Rich Botto and Jason Jubain in our inventory management and GIS team to develop a cruise that covered the entire forested portion of the property. Colton Groff and Cole Wrebelis, Foresters from the Kalispell office, completed the timber cruise. This data will be used to calculate timber volumes, develop treatment prescriptions, and identify stands that are eligible for treatments using available cost-share funding. Brian Vrablick, Intermountain Region Manager, and Eric Koenig, Spokane District Manager, visited the property while the cruise was underway. Their tasks were to finalize stand boundaries, rate and prioritize stands based on harvest potential, fuels treatment needs and priority level, and develop initial treatment prescriptions. Criteria used in the development of stand priority rankings included the presence of insects and diseases, proximity to unmanaged federal lands, homesites, and main access roads, as well as overstocking. The data combined from the timber cruise and the onsite assessment will be utilized to create a forest management plan. This project demonstrates how AFM can deliver multiple services within a single project to develop a comprehensive, actionable management plan that will inform future operations and priorities.

Look who decided to make an appearance in Maine! Paula Pelletier, Forester in Milford, ME, came face to face with this majestic moose on a client’s property. As with many wild animals, moose are dangerous when provoked, but Paula wisely kept her distance. Moose are more plentiful in the northern forestlands of Maine because commercial harvesting areas create continuous food sources through natural regeneration. These herbivores dine on the young trees, shrubs, and browse common to those areas. Sodium is an essential part of their diet, so moose will eat aquatic plants like water lilies and pondweed. Moose also like the runoff salt lick on roads, which may be why this friend was spotted in this location!
