Forest Stewardship Planning
Caring for your forest starts with planning. APF will help you create a written 10-year forest stewardship plan laying out your vision for the land. APF will insure that your plan exceeds all requirements for NC and TN forestry tax programs.
Forest and Wildlife Habitat Restoration
Development, logging, mining, agriculture, and climate change have impacted our Southern Appalachian Forest. APF can help you restore your forest, improve wildlife habitat, and design a more resilient forest for the future.
Invasive Species Control
Invasive species such as Asiatic bittersweet and hemlock woolly adelgid are dramatically altering the Southern Appalachian Forest. APF can help you inventory and control invasive species on your land.
Mapping
Maps are a great way to better visualize your land and plan how to care for your forest. APF can provide you with detailed maps that include forest types, roads, trails, streams and other important features on your land.
Timber Appraisal
If you are considering selling timber it is critical to first know the value of your timber. APF can inventory your forest and provide you with an accurate estimate of the volume and value of your standing timber based on current market prices.
