Carbon Forest Management Plans

 

I'm not a promoter of carbon plans, nor am I set up to oversee the preparation of a plan. However, I offer three levels of estimates to help timberland owners determine if a carbon plan would be feasible for their situation, depending on the acreage of their timber stand, the amount they'd like to harvest, their need for immediate income, etc… These estimates could also help timber owners become accepted by the California PG&E climate smart program.

I'm also set-up to provide the growth & harvest analysis and GIS mapping support services required for carbon plan preparation.

My charge for supporting services for carbon plan estimates or analysis is $75 per hour, plus reasonable travel expenses.

The cost of my estimate services could vary from $300 to $2,000, depending on the level of accuracy requested to determine feasibility.
