Hi,
Is there any possible way that the summer of 2015 has already come and gone? The entire team here at FORECON loves the summer months, and there are just never enough of these amazing days. Still, the autumn is pretty special here, and we love being able to get out and see the many changes that take place each season.
So with autumn now in full-swing, we are taking a brief look back at some of the past season’s highlights from the expansion of our ongoing Community Outreach program, to important legislative relationships FORECON is building with community leaders and government officials.
We are also pleased to announce our expanded service offerings, including solutions for increasingly problematic pest and disease management situations. Oh, and be sure to check out our revised website, and let us know what you think! And if you can’t find a particular service or answer to a question you may have there, please give us a call! We have six office locations to better serve your needs!
As the nights lengthen and get cooler, we hope you are able to enjoy the crisp, colorful days of autumn!
Welcome to Fall 2015!

Timber Markets
Timber Markets are competitive, they always have been. Today’s markets are no different. Your high-quality timber is as valuable as ever, even as demand and supply in both domestic and international markets fluctuate. How is a landowner to know the best time to consider a timber sale? FORECON forestry consultants can provide you peace-of-mind and valuable information, and you may be eligible for a free initial consultation.
Learn more about our Timber Sale Administration services and stay tuned for updated and expanded coverage of the timber industry, including pricing reports, in the coming issues of the Woodland News.
Prepare to Protect Your Forest Investments
Invasive species of pests and disease are taking a toll on millions of trees on both large tracts of timberland and in community settings throughout the Northeast. FORECON’s arboricultural specialists have been busier than ever providing guidance, and service to help landowners and municipalities preserve vital forest resources. Treatment options and preventative measures are having an impact, and the good news is that the fall is a great time to take action. Learn more from our team:
