Forest & Land Stewardship is essential for property owners looking to balance the environmental, economic, and aesthetic values of their forested land. Richard has over 30 years experience in Sustainable Forest Management. At Oakstead, our science-based approach to Sustainable Forest Management helps landowners maintain the quality and abundance of their forest resources while supporting long-term ecological health and financial sustainability. These services are tailored to the unique needs of those managing large tracts of developed or undeveloped land, with a strong focus on Tree Inventory Management, Sustainable Timber Management Planning, Habitat Enhancement & Ecological Planning. By taking a holistic view of the property, we aim to conserve the land’s environmental integrity while maximizing its value for current and future generations.
As a Forest Technician, and Forest Ecosystem Biologist working over 30 years in British Columbia, Richard is a trusted Forest Land Steward that can provide a wide range of services to help you achieve your management goals. Through Tree Inventory Management, we assess the tree population to understand species diversity, tree health, and stand density, which forms the basis for sustainable harvesting and replanting plans. Our expertise in Sustainable Timber Management Planning ensures that timber resources are utilized efficiently, promoting forest regeneration while maintaining economic viability. Additionally, we prioritize Habitat Enhancement & Ecological Planning to preserve and restore biodiversity, improve wildlife corridors, and enhance the overall ecological value of your property. With a strong commitment to retaining the quality of forest, land, water, and biological diversity, Oakstead provides comprehensive stewardship services that conserve both environmental and economic values, creating a legacy of sustainability for your forested land.
