DEI works with several small to large private owners to build Forest Management Plans tailored to their specific needs. Some reasons landowners approach us to build management plans are:

• To improve the heath of forest ecosystems on their land for aesthetic, economic, recreation, and other reasons.

• To have a framework and prescriptions for restoration projects.

• Commercial timber harvesting and thinning.

• Watershed restoration.

• Fire risk mitigation.

• To access federal, state, local and grant funds.

• To implement conservation easements.

• To build resiliency in forest ecosystems against insect and disease and climate shift.
