~Timber Sales
Natco can assist landowners in the sale of the timber on their property. This is done by marketing the timber in a fashion that suites the landowner's needs and managing the sale from start to finish.
Natco makes sure that the landowners are getting the full value for their timber. We also ensure that the timber is being removed in a safe manner and that there are no unnecessary effects on the environment.
~Watershed Management
Water is the most important natural resource we have. The capacity of water flowing through the watershed is directly correlated with the surrounding ground cover. This ground cover could be pasture or old field but more often than not it is the trees in the woods.
Protecting an area's watershed is a very important task that all landowners should be concerned with. A well managed watershed can reduce the risk of flood or drought. Natco Forestry realizes that changes to the timber stands can play a significant toll in the watershed's well-being. Good timber management means good watershed management.
~Estimates & Appraisals
Knowing the value of the timber on your land is essential if you plan to keep track of your investment. Natco can provide accurate estimates and appraisals of the timber so that you can make to best decisions regarding your property. In the event you plan to sell or buy land with timber, it is recommended that an appraisal be conducted. The intensity of the appraisal should match the accuracy of the desired results.
Since many properties are sold below value due to unrecognized timber values, this should be of special interest to real estate agents and attorneys.

What is Forestry
-
To many a forest is just a bunch of trees, growing for no other reason than the fact that nothing else has been done with the land. It can be a place of recreation, providing relaxing walks or hunting and fishing. To others it is viewed as an investment vehicle which can compete with most investment opportunities. Still others may own forested land to protect it from development or urban encroachment.
All of these views are correct. Many are unaware that a host of goals can be met in the owner ship of timberland. Forestry encompasses many activities that can protect and ensure a healthy forest. These include timber stand manipulation, harvesting habitat management, fire and insect damage suppression in addition to ensuring that forest products such as paper, lumber, chemicals and many other everyday goods reach the marketplace.
As a landowner, you are put in a position to make decisions that will effect your property for years to come. It is recommended that when faced with these decisions, that professional guidance be sought.
