Pick and choose
We Provide Options
Management planning
We develop comprehensive management plans for a wide variety of lands. Each tract of land can have different components to a plan depending on need, size, and other factors. We provide forest management plans for the present-use value (PUV) program, forest stewardship plans, Wildlife Conservation Land Program (WCLP) plans, and management plans for conservation areas.
biological surveys
We survey lands throughout the mountains and Piedmont of North Carolina and adjacent Southeastern states to conduct biological surveys. Botanical surveys can include rare plant searches, species inventories, natural community mapping and analysis, old growth mapping, and more. Wildlife surveys can include inventories, wildlife camera traps, rare species searches, and habitat analysis.
FORESTRY SERVICES
We provide a full suite of forestry services to North Carolina landowners. Aside from the basic forest inventory necessary for a PUV plan, we can provide more detailed inventories determining the value of a stand or your entire tract, including back-dating stand values for tax basis purposes. We provide comprehensive timber sale management for land owners and can facilitate sustainable certification of their lands through Rainforest Alliance, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the American Tree Farm System (ATFS).
videography and photography
Helia can craft well-honed videos to enhance marketing, conservation, and other efforts. This now also includes the capacity for drone videography at reasonable rates. In addition, Helia can provide award-winning photography for projects, filling reports with clear, high quality visuals. The image shows donated photography to India’s National Parks.
