We’re continuing our series “Q&A with a Forester,” and this month, we’re visiting with Oren Shaw, Forester, in Farmington, ME! Have you ever seen a bear or other wild animal that could injure you? What did you do? I see bears, deer, and moose, as well as coyotes, bobcats, and lynx. In theory, some of these could injure a person, but for the most part, they are wary enough to avoid you in the woods. I feel the most dangerous animals I encounter on a frequent basis are moose. They can be more aggressive than people think, especially during the rut and in the springtime when cows have their calves nearby. In general, my animal encounters are of the friendly variety, where you only catch a glimpse of an animal as it's running away. What's your favorite part of being a forester? My favorite part of being a forester is being able to work outside most of the time and interact with nature in some very remote areas. Are you a game warden, or do you work for the paper company? I get asked these two questions the most by people unfamiliar with what we do as foresters. A lot of people assume that I am a game warden or a park ranger when I first tell them I’m a forester. Here in Maine, a lot of the private lands used to be managed and owned by paper companies, so there is still a rooted thought that the private lands are managed that way, although they haven’t been for several decades. I think it is important to try to educate people about what we do. Do you have a favorite forestry activity? My favorite forestry activity is completing timber harvests because you finally get to see the fruits of all the work that went into setting it up, such as planning, reconnaissance, building access roads, and laying out the area to be harvested.

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.
