Boundary Line Maintenance
“Good fences make good neighbors” - Robert Frost
As a property owner it is vital to have the boundary of your property clearly designated for the benefit of neighboring landowners, hunters, and potential trespassers. There are several advantage to keeping a clear boundary in your forest. They are less expensive than surveys which can cost you a tremendous amount of money. Clearly marked lines will deter timber theft whether it's intentional or accidental. Having your boundaries evident also increases your land value as there is no guess work in trying to figure out how much land you own. Finally, it reduces or diminishes trespassing when you have signs up that are not blocked by brush.
Forest Management Plans
Forest management plans for your Chelsea property help you to locate and maximize the resources that are available to you on your property and how these resources create opportunities for you to generate revenue. Our management planning service helps you analyze steams, ponds, dirt and soil, wetlands, and the overall condition of your land. These are important for determining exactly what can be utilized and how. This greatly improves the long-term value of your forestland. As a bonus, proper forest utilization helps you save money on your taxes as a part of both the Vermont Use Value program and New Hampshire Current Use tax abatement program.
Timber Value Appraisal
A timber appraisal from Stillwater Forestry determines the current volume and market value of the timber found on a parcel of land. The volume is determined through the use of a statistically based process known as a timber cruise. The value is determined from prices received for timber from recently completed timber harvests. These numbers are then condensed into a report. This report provides technical information on the quality, quantity, and size of timber, which allow the forestry professionals at Stillwater Forestry LLC to calculate the current "fair market value" of all merchantable timber and trees standing upon your property. Timber value appraisals provide the landowner with an estimate of what their timber is worth at the present time and current market conditions.
