Summit Forestry Services is a forestry consulting business based in Grass Valley, California, for landowners with timber who need help deciding what to do with it. It's been operating since January 1997. The work covers the permits needed to harvest: Timber Harvest Plans, emergencies, exemptions, and 3 acre conversions. They also do timber marking, timber sale preparation, logging administration, timber inventories, appraisals and valuations, log merchandising, marketing and accounting, and independent third party consultations. On the land itself they handle reforestation work such as site preparation, tree planting and timber stand improvement, plus wildfire rehabilitation. They write both Timber Management Plans and Non-Industrial Timber Management Plans (NTMP). They describe their process as working with the client to meet the objectives for the property. They can run a "turn-key" project from start to finish, or just give the landowner specific advice to save money, or do something in between. The company serves Nevada County and says it works with both local clients and "out of the region" clients. Peter Walden is a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) #2001 and a California Agricultural Pest Control Advisor (PCA) #07770. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to carry a harvest through the permitting, the marking, the sale and the cleanup afterward, rather than just a one-time opinion on what the trees are worth.
