Landowners who use professional advice to set their strategies and to oversee implementation realize stronger financial returns. “Many Landowners and loggers do not understand the basics of thinning and selective cutting and usually need professional forestry assistance to understand and apply these cutting systems.” Dr. Ron Mahoney, Extension Forester and Professor University of Idaho

• Informed landowners make better decisions knowledgeable landowners recognize alternatives that sacrifice future potential for short-term gain. Professionally assisted landowners can make optimum decisions, for themselves and for society.

• "Utilizing a professional forester often has hidden advantages for the landowner. Greater revenues are realized; better forestry is applied; fewer headaches are encountered; and a forest with a future is left standing. In addition to timber management goals, a professional forester can also help you realize goals for wildlife, clean water, and aesthetics".
