Eight things
we do to woods.
Planning, planting, improving, harvesting, protecting — the whole life of a stand. Not sure which one you need? Number 01 is usually the answer.
Forest Stewardship Plans
A written, long-term roadmap for your property built around your goals — timber income, wildlife, recreation, or just healthy woods. Plans can qualify your land for reduced property-tax assessment and cost-share programs.
Tree Planting
Reforestation and new stand establishment with native Illinois hardwoods and conifers. We handle site prep, species selection, planting, and early survival so your investment actually takes hold.
Wildlife Enhancement
Practical habitat improvements that bring more deer, turkey, and songbirds to your land. From edge feathering to mast trees to water sources, we shape the property around the wildlife you want to see.
Food Plots & CRP Seeding
Seeding and food plots for both wildlife and conservation acres. We match seed mixes to your soil and your goals, and handle establishment from ground prep to drilling.
Timber Appraisals & Sales
Know what your timber is worth before you sell. We appraise honestly and run the sale start to finish — marking, bidding, contracts — so you get fair value and your land is left in good shape.
Forest Stand Improvement
Targeted thinning and TSI that removes low-value, competing trees so your best timber grows faster and healthier. Good for wood value and good for wildlife.
CRP Management
Keep your Conservation Reserve Program acres in compliance and in good condition. We handle the required mid-contract management — mowing, prescribed burning, maintenance — on schedule.
Invasive Species Control
Take back your woods from bush honeysuckle, autumn olive, and the rest of the crowd that chokes out native growth. Targeted cutting and treatment — including drone application — that keeps them from coming back.
