Areas of special interest to us include:

• Climate change assessment and carbon markets.
• Stumpage price analysis, supply assessment, and outlook work.
• Assessing current industry market trends, especially in less well-covered niches such as specialty lumber grades, value added items, biomass, and mulch markets.
• Environmental Certification, including FSC auditing, readiness audits, and related evaluations of management programs.
• Public policy analysis, including trade issues.
• Economic impact assessments on mills or public policies
• Strategic assessment of industry trends and outlook.
• Assessments of trends in land use and landownership.
• Due diligence on wood-fired powerplant transactions.

We set up project teams with outside associates to match the needs of a specific project.

Over the years, much of our work has been in the northeast, Lake States, and Eastern Canada, with occasional projects for national groups and in other regions.
