Services for landowners, farms, and working landscapes

Timberside Conservation offers practical planning and stewardship services for landowners who want to better understand their property and care for it wisely. Services are tailored to the goals, conditions, and opportunities of each site.

Property Stewardship Audits

A Property Stewardship Audit is a strong place to begin if you want a clearer understanding of your land and practical guidance on what to do next.

This service is designed for landowners who may be asking questions like:

  • What do I have on my property?

  • What issues should I address first?

  • How do my woods, pasture, water, and habitat fit together?

  • What improvements would be most worthwhile?

A stewardship audit may include a site visit, discussion of your goals, evaluation of land features and concerns, and a written summary with practical next steps.

Starting at $250

Final pricing depends on property size, location, and scope.

Conservation Project Planning

Timberside Conservation prepares a variety of conservation management plans that meet NRCS standards and are tailored to the site conditions, landowner goals, and stewardship needs of each property.

These plans can help landowners think clearly about:

  • forest health

  • Windbreak design

  • timber stand improvement

  • invasive species pressure

  • tree/agro-forestry plantings

  • wildlife habitat opportunities

  • long-term management priorities

Where applicable, planning can also support landowners pursuing conservation programs or cost-share opportunities.

Starting at $350

Final pricing depends on property size, location, and scope.

Livestock Operation Consulting

Timberside Conservation helps livestock producers evaluate their operation and identify opportunities to better utilize land, labor, infrastructure, and livestock resources. Recommendations are tailored to the goals, current management, and unique challenges of each operation.

This service can help producers think clearly about:

  • rotational grazing systems

  • paddock design and livestock flow

  • water system placement and infrastructure

  • forage utilization and carrying capacity

  • labor-saving opportunities

  • livestock handling efficiency

  • multi-species grazing implementation

Whether you are establishing a new livestock enterprise or improving an existing operation, consulting focuses on creating practical systems that improve efficiency, support stewardship goals, and help operations function more effectively day to day.

Custom GIS Mapping

Good maps help landowners see their property more clearly and make better decisions.

Timberside Conservation creates custom GIS-based maps that may support:

  • property understanding

  • stewardship planning

  • stand delineation

  • pasture and infrastructure planning

  • habitat improvement strategy

  • communication with family members, partners, or conservation programs

Maps are designed to be useful, readable, and grounded in real management questions - not just data for data’s sake.

Typical range: $300–$1,200

Pricing varies based on the type of maps needed and project complexity

Traveling Farm Experience

Not everyone has the opportunity to visit a working farm, so Timberside Farms offers a Traveling Farm Experience that brings a selection of our animals directly to schools, nursing homes, churches, birthday parties, community events, libraries, and other gatherings.

No matter what your event may be, our goal is to create an engaging experience that is educational, memorable, and enjoyable for all ages.

To reduce stress on animals, the Traveling Farm Experience is primarily offered in the months of April, May, September, and October.

Traveling Farm Experience: Starting at $300 for 2 hours.

Cost may increase based on animal selection and mileage.
