Ferrucci & Walicki, LLC is a forestry consulting firm based in Middlefield, Connecticut. They've been managing forestland in Connecticut and Massachusetts since 1982, and have worked across southern New England for three decades. Their work covers forest management and stewardship plans, timber sale administration, and enrollment in property tax reduction programs such as Connecticut's PA 490 and Massachusetts Chapter 61/61B. They also do mapping, invasive species control, wildlife habitat enhancement, recreation planning, education, and land management for utilities. On a timber sale, their foresters "act as the landowner's agent." They mark the trees to be removed and set their value, lay out where forest roads will go, get the needed permits, write up the contract between the landowner and the buyer, and oversee the operation from start to finish. They "work on an hourly basis, not on a commission or percentage or revenue," so their pay isn't tied to how much timber gets marked or sold. Staff credentials include Connecticut Certified Forester status, a Massachusetts forester's license, USDA-NRCS Technical Service Provider status, and membership in the Society of American Foresters. They work with private landowners, municipalities, utilities, and land trusts, handling properties that range from small holdings up to parcels of many thousands of acres. This suits a landowner who wants a forester paid by the hour rather than by a cut of the wood, to handle the whole timber sale on their behalf. From fwforesters.com, read 10 October 2026.

Questions landowners ask

How many forestry consultants are there in Rhode Island?

9 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Rhode Island forestry register.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
