Forest Stewardship & Sustainable Forestry
W. M. Beaty & Associates, Inc.
(WBA) is recognized as a leader in
providing forest stewardship and sustainable forestry management
services. In 1997 the 100-year Sustained Yield Plan (SYP) we prepared
for one client was the first such plan approved in California.
In 2000, WBA secured the approval of two additional SYPs for
separate
clients. These landscape scale planning
documents are reviewed by multiple State agencies and must
address timber, wildlife, and watershed resources. By
addressing these issues up front, SYPs prepared by WBA provide multiple benefits for landowners who choose to
complete them.
W. M. Beaty & Associates, Inc. offers services to clients who may wish to have their lands Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, an independent organization that evaluates forestry operations to assure that environmentally friendly practices are being applied. W. M. Beaty & Associates, Inc. has been involved with the FSC Certification process since 2000 and has consistently received exemplary scores during annual audits conducted under this process.
