You own woods and you want to take care of them. But there is so much to think about: thinning, clearing, trails, wildlife, invasive plants, storm damage. Without a plan, nothing gets done, or the wrong thing does. Toms Tree Services offers forest management plans in Marquette to help you set goals and a path forward.
When Do You Need Forest Management Plans?
A forest management plan helps when you own wooded acreage and want to improve it, use it, or just keep it healthy. It is also useful after buying land or after big storm damage.
A plan starts with your goals. Maybe you want healthier trees, better wildlife habitat, trails, firewood, a view, or less fire risk. Then it lays out the work to reach them, step by step.
Without a plan, work is often done in the wrong order, or not at all. Brush and invasive plants keep spreading, and storm damage piles up.
We do not log, harvest or buy timber. Our plans focus on care and hands-on work like thinning, clearing, planting and trail work.
In the U.P., Lake Superior wind storms and heavy lake-effect snow and ice change woods each year. Wet spring ground and a short summer season mean work needs to fit the right times of year.
We make plans for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County, and will travel farther for the right job.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your woods.
Then we come out and look. We sit down with you to talk about your goals, then walk the woods together. We look at the trees, brush, ground, water and access. Then we lay out a plan in plain words, with what to do first and what can wait.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Forest Management Plans Cost?
The cost depends on how many acres, how varied the woods are, how much detail you want, and access. Distance also matters. Any work you choose later is priced on its own.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what each part of the work covers. That way you can pick what fits your trees and your budget, and change the plan later if your needs change.
