Forest Inspections
How to Start Active Forestry

The best way to start active forestry on your property is with our Forest Inspection. See below for our 3 levels of inspections to choose from.

You are welcome to call us for discussion of how to proceed. Email or call Len at the number above for prompt response. We'll discuss the property's condition and your interests and concerns.

Forest inspections and consultations

  Greenleaf offers three-pronged forest property inspections and consulting by our Expert Professional Forester to best fit individual landowner's needs. On all properties, we start with a phone call to get an overview of the land status, your observations, and your objectives.

The inspections include the following in a custom written report.

  1. Wildfire Defense
    • General Home and Improvements
    • Forest Wildfire Hazard Zones and Access Routes
  2. Forest Health
    • Overgrowth, insect and disease problems
    • Wildlife habitat, water, ecosystems
    • Trees and vegetation species diversity
  3. Land Conditions
    • Terrain, slopes
    • Access roads and trials
    • Fences
    • Recreational and structural improvements
    • Neighborhood conditions

  Each inspection includes a free proposal for forest work or resource management for priority needs and opportunities within an affordable budget.

  For larger properties, the inspection includes a free proposal for long term resource and project management, and income/ cost offset opportunities.

Costs by general property sizes:

  1. Small. Normally for 1-3 acres near house
    • Wildfire Hazard Zones 1-2,  0 to 150 feet from house.
    • $250 plus travel.
    • Brief custom inspection report and recommendations.
  2. Medium. 5-35 acres.
    • Includes Inspection as in A.
    • Wildfire Hazard Zone 3 -- further than 150 feet from a home, excluding low priority areas to be left along.
    • $1000 plus $25/acre and travel.
  3. Larger. 40 acres or more.
    • Includes general Inspections of areas as in A and B.
    • Detailed Inventory, Maps, and Forest Stand Analysis for long-term forest property management.

     Maintaining forested property has many benefits. The practice known as ecological forestry, which includes selective removal of trees and brush in overgrown forests (i.e.: thinning), leads to significant decreases in total insurance premiums for homes and commercial property, while also reducing the impact of wildfires in communities using these practices. Maintaining forested property can not only help protect against wildfires but also save money on fire insurance premiums.
