Tabular and spatial data are critical drivers of timberland valuations, but often times they are overlooked. Mason, Bruce & Girard (MB&G) understands the importance and can help you in your next timberland property due diligence.
It is important to consider the inherent risks and unknowns with the management of tabular and spatial forest inventory data. There is risk estimating the standing inventory and projecting inventories forward through time. How many acres were cruised? What field measurement procedures were applied? What growth model was used? How are productive acres assessed and calculated? Is the spatial data updated annually?

Easy to understand graphics can help you quickly digest the inventory and GIS risk assessment of the property as well as specific areas of interest.
MB&G has developed a qualitative and quantitative risk assessment to help you understand where problems may arise that could have financial impacts. We assess the complete forest inventory system, growth & yield models, and spatial data. We leverage our experience and provide our opinion of the system. We will let you know where the risk is and what, if any, improvements could be made.
MB&G’s assessment will provide you with quality data to make an informed decision.
Understand The Risk

While conducting stand exams for the Upper Grouse Valley Project in California, MB&G foresters Ande Myers, Ian Cummins, and Rubie Teffeteller came across these impressive giant puffball mushrooms.
READ MOREMB&G is supporting PG&E with a hazard tree patrol to identify dead and dying trees along the Salt Springs/Tiger Creek Canal system in California. The canal system’s primary purpose is to supply water for hydropower generation. As the water continues downstream, it also becomes a source of drinking water for local utility districts. These historic canals have played an important role in Amador County for decades and present a unique environment for forestry work. Projects like this highlight the diverse and specialized work our California forestry team performs across the state.
READ MORECruise data collection has evolved, but many organizations are still relying on outdated software and hardware that weren’t built for modern forestry workflows. MBG T2 Mobile was developed to change that. Watch the video below to see MBG T2 Mobile in action and learn how it’s helping forestry professionals collect better data, more efficiently.
