Other Services I Provide

Timber Appraisals and Cruises

Many circumstances arise where someone needs to know the value of a particular tract of timber.
 

I can provide that information based on a cruise (inventory) of the area and an analysis of the volume, tree species, and quality of the trees present to arrive at a fair market value. 
 

Or, if only a cruise is needed, I can provide that service as well.
 

Appraisals for Tax Basis

When acquiring a piece of wooded property from which timber may someday be harvested, an appraisal is a necessity to establish a basis of the timber value relative to the land itself for future tax considerations.

This is often overlooked by landowners when purchasing property.  Not having this information may cost considerably in taxes when a timber sale is made.
 

Expert Witness Testimony

In cases of timber trespass, theft, or other legal issues related to forestland, I can provide expert witness testimony in court on your behalf.
 

Trespass Investigations

Did you know that under Kentucky law (KRS 364.130) if someone crosses your property line and cuts timber on your property without your permission that you are entitled to receive triple damages in court?
 

This law applies if the logger or adjacent landowner did not notify you in advance of their intention to harvest.  
 

If called upon, I will estimate the volume and value of any timber illegally cut or removed from your property and then help you recover damages.

Other Services 

I am also available to provide or assist in environmental impact studies, ecological assessments and a great variety of other things which may in some way be related to forestland.
