Buckeye Forestry Services, LLC
| P.O. Box 531, McConnelsville, OH 43756 |
| Buckeye Forestry Services (BFS) was founded by Gary Kaster and Art Boyer in 1979 to provide professional guidance to woodland owners and assist them in managing and marketing their woodland resource. BFS foresters pride themselves in applying sustainable forest management guidelines implemented through selective tree removals. Scores of landowners in Southeastern Ohio have benefited from the professional expertise of BFS foresters. Many are repeat customers. Most people need a consulting forester when they are considering a timber sale, which is the main service BFS offers. The most critical place that landowners lose value is when they are conducting a timber sale. This is where the use of a professionally trained forester is of the most benefit. Why? |
GUIDANCE ON MARKET CONDITIONS
Timber is a commodity like any other. For instance, farmers will check the market for the price of beef before selling cattle but most don't think of checking the selling price of white oak. Oftentimes the only timber price advice they receive is from the buyer.
People don't usually rely on having the value of an asset determined by the buyer; they seek the advice of a professional who is working for their best interest -- not the buyer's best interest. BFS foresters are not affiliated with any lumber companies. They can go out and receive the best competitive price for the landowner.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Involvement and oversight of a consulting forester assures proper harvesting, road building and restoration practices are followed to minimize environmental and aesthetic impact.
WOODLAND MANAGEMENT
Trees are a crop -- no tree should be harvested before it's ready. BFS will give you guidance on which trees should be harvested, or remain, based on:
