Forestry

Competing Demands- The Challenge

Forestlands, farms, and other natural resources are valuable assets, both to investors and to individuals and communities who rely on them for recreation, open space, and other purposes. Individuals, companies, and communities need a standard metric for assessing, marketing, negotiating, and sometimes arbitrating both economic and social best uses. Engaging a professional, objective third party protects the interests of all parties.
