“I am overall very happy with all the product[s] and what has come out of the data”
There is a lot of potential to increase ecological value by enhancing the structural diversity of the forest and expanding wildlife habitat in the right-of-way. But what really creates the opportunity is the landowner’s passion for their unique property.
Prescription writing is an important management tool that foresters use to make sure we keep our forests healthy, productive, and thriving. It is where rubber meets the road, and science becomes action.
Our clients develop a deep connection with their land and want to make sure it is taken care of now and for the foreseeable future. That is why they entrust us to develop a Forest Stewardship Plan for their forested land.
Achieving goals starts with making a plan. Good management means adapting that plan as times change and lessons are learned. From vast landscapes to individual forest stands, we use every tool available to write sound plans and turn learning into smarter management.
Through what lens do you typically see a forest?
Applying landscape ecology to forest restoration
Within Resilient Forestry, we like to think of ourselves as a bridge between forest science and forest management. This project was a perfect example. Moving from a landscape analysis, to a landscape prescription, to a preliminary proposal, to the eventual implementation, represents an iterative process of scientific evaluation, filtering through management objectives, and balancing disparate social pressures.
We are a vertically-integrated science company: we don't just apply science, we also create it. We know the difference between a timber cruise and research-grade sampling, and we can shepherd studies through the peer-review process.

A social-ecological research project
In some places, drought plus fire might mean forest loss.
Taking some time to examine some of the plants on the ground floor may re-invigorate your sense of the immense complexity of our natural world.
We understand the importance of earning income from your land and we can help make it happen. Our active management prescriptions are practical and effective. Whether your product is timber or carbon, we will handle all the fieldwork, regulatory compliance, and contract administration to get the work done.

Good decisions are made with good data. New technologies like drone-based imagery and lidar are incredible sources of knowledge. We work hard to empower ecological forest management through sophisticated yet interpretable applications of all kinds of geospatial data.
UAV lidar is poised to fill a key role as a complement to airplane-based lidar.
