Deizman, Paul is a forestry consulting business in Springfield, Illinois, operating as Forest Conservation Specialists, LLC. It describes its work as professional forestry consulting, habitat management and ecological services, for private, corporate and non-profit owners of forest and farm land. The county it names is Sangamon. For a landowner with timber, the work runs from the woods to the sale. The business does forest inventories, forest and timber appraisals and forest composition surveys. It writes forest management plans, "written and approved for 10-20 years," and carries out stand thinning, crop tree marking or releasing, and invasive species removal. When it is time to sell, it offers timber marking, timber sale administration and timber marketing. It also does wildlife habitat work, native tree planting, and carbon sequestration easements, estimates and incentives. Owners of town trees and parkland are covered as well. The business offers urban and community forestry services for municipalities and associations, tree inventory and planting with monitoring, amenity tree appraisals for private, corporate and public owners, and tree risk evaluations. It suits a landowner who wants a written plan for a wooded farm and then timber marked and sold under that plan, or someone with trees in town who needs them inventoried, appraised or assessed for risk.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
