About FOREST LAND IMPROVEMENT
Forest Land Improvement is a forestry consulting firm based in Ossipee, New Hampshire, working with landowners across eastern New Hampshire and Western Maine. It got its start in 1976 and has been at this a long time, originally out of Chocorua Village in Tamworth before the office moved to Ossipee. The work covers most anything a landowner might need done on their woodlot: forest management plans, timber inventories and appraisals, timber sale marking and supervision "as the Landowner's Agent," boundary maintenance, GIS mapping, woods road layout, current use and tree growth tax paperwork, wetlands permitting, timber trespass investigations, tree planting, and conservation easement planning. The business says it is "here to help you get the most out of your property," whether that means timber production, wildlife habitat, recreation, or aesthetics. Beyond private landowners, it also manages town forests for several New Hampshire municipalities, including Conway, Jackson, Madison, Albany, Gilford, Brookfield, Barrington, Moultonborough, and Dover, and has worked for conservation groups such as The Nature Conservancy and the Lakes Region Conservation Trust. The forester running things now, Timothy Nolin, is a Licensed Forester in both New Hampshire and Maine, a Technical Service Provider with NRCS, and a Tree Farm Inspector. He grew up on a working farm in Moultonborough and has been with the company since the mid-1990s. This is a fit for a landowner in that eastern New Hampshire or Western Maine corner who wants someone to handle a timber sale as their agent, sort out tax paperwork, or put together a full management plan rather than just get wood cut.

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.
