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/pasture health

  • windbreak design

  • rotational grazing systems

  • 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.

Forest & Grazing Integration Planning

Many landowners are trying to manage properties where woods, pasture, conservation goals, and livestock all overlap. Timberside Conservation helps bridge the gap between forestry, ecology, and regenerative grazing to create practical, site-specific recommendations.

Depending on the property, this may include:

  • prescribed grazing concepts

  • paddock and access considerations

  • woodland and silvopasture-related observations

  • livestock use aligned with stewardship goals

  • invasive species management strategy

  • balancing production and conservation concerns

Starting at $350.

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