FOREST GEEK LLC
About FOREST GEEK LLC
Forest GEEK LLC is a forestry consulting business in Lee, Maine, run by Kyle Burdick. He works in Penobscot County. He writes Tree Growth Tax Law plans, NRCS Forest Management plans, Maine WRAP plans, and Tree Farm plans. In his own words, "Yes, I write Tree Growth Tax, NRCS, Maine WRAP, and Tree Farm Plans." He also offers Tree Growth Compliance and Tree Farm Plan Compliance as add-ons, and an expedited Tree Growth service with delivery within 30 days. NRCS plans are offered at a flat rate, with payment due when the plan is finished rather than after NRCS reimbursement comes through. If he takes on a harvest project, he charges by the hour for sale preparation and supervision. His NRCS Forest Management Plan starts at 10 to 99 acres, so that is the smallest job shown. He holds a Maine Forester License, is an SAF Certified Forester, and holds a Scalers License. He is a past Maine Chair of the Society of American Foresters, sits on the board of Maine Woodland Owners, and serves as a current inspector and facilitator for Maine Tree Farm. Before consulting full time, he spent nearly two decades managing large tracts of investment, conservation, and family forest land. This fits a landowner who needs a written forest management plan done to Tree Growth Tax, NRCS, or Tree Farm standards, more than someone just looking for a straightforward timber sale.

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.
