Golden Forestry Services, Inc.

Golden Forestry Services, Inc. (GFS Inc.) is a locally-owned consulting forestry
company dedicated to serving forest landowners throughout Maine, since 2003.
Having grown clientele exponentially over the years, and incorporating in 2007, we
continue to deliver top-notch forestry services in a timely fashion, with the utmost
professionalism, and at a competitive price. GFS Inc. has been a statewide leader in
delivering cost-shared services to its clients, including the development of Forest
Stewardship Plans that exceed American Tree Farm green certification standards
and include aerial photos, various maps, timber inventories and appraisals. Our
timber harvest management program has continually fetched clients stumpage
prices 10-60% higher than if they had just called a logger directly, even after our fees!
From five to five thousand plus acres, we adapt services to best meet our clients'
diverse ownership objectives. No job is too big or too small, and if we aren't the
company to best meet your needs, we will help you find a company that will.
David Wardrop, President and owner of GFS Inc., is a 1998 graduate of the
University of Maine, Orono, forest management program. With more than a decade of
forest management experience in every corner of the state, for hundreds of clients
with various goals, and with well over 250,000 cords (equivalent of logging trucks
parked back to back from Kittery to Bangor and beyond) of timber successfully
brought to market under his supervision, he is one consulting forester who can adapt
services to best meet a forest landowner's needs. He feels strongly that open
communication with clients leads to informed decision making. Unlike most
companies, when you call GFS Inc., you speak directly with the owner, so you can rest
assured that your questions will be answered directly and objectives will be met as
discussed. We continually strive to improve our services and are committed to
excellence in the forest management industry. Want an unbiased reference...call your
local Maine Forest Service District Forester and ask them about us. We are happy to
provide a list of references as well.
We are thrilled that most jobs continue to be for repeat clients and referrals, and we
truly appreciate the faith and trust that our clients have placed in us. Our clients own
properties from five to several thousand acres, live throughout the United States and
beyond, and come from just about every profession. They include individuals,
partnerships, corporations, non-profits, state and local government. Our clients are
our greatest asset. We thank them and we welcome forestry related questions at any
time of any day, any day of the week. Our goal is to treat every client like our best
client.
As a fun way of saying thank you to our clients, we hold a lottery for a free cord of
firewood, delivered anywhere in Maine, every 4th of July. The 2009 winner was TDL
LLC, with land in Newburgh & Carmel, whom we developed a Forest Stewardship
Plan for and subsequently administered new road construction and a timber harvest,
capitalizing on the record high 3rd quarter, 2008, timber stumpage prices shortly
before the predicted record low timber stumpage prices of early 2009.
