I help landowners make clear, informed decisions that fit their goals—whether that’s harvest planning, long‑term management planning, or simply understanding their woods.

CTL Land Management just added a new Weiler B457 Feller Buncher to their fleet. This is one of our jobs in Woolwich.
Operator Wayne Little has been running it and likes the power and comfort of the cab.
This machine will work out front, followed by a tracked harvester with a Waratah head and a forwarder behind it. It’s a solid system built to keep production moving strong.
Check out the video of the buncher working in the woods!

Seeing everything coated in yellow dust this spring? 🌲
That’s your white pines having a big reproductive year.

What you’re seeing is pollen from the small male cones — a visible sign that eastern white pine is putting real energy into reproduction. White pine tends to have strong mast years every 3–5 years, and heavy pollen like this usually lines up with those bigger cone crops.

The pollen released now will help produce the cones that drop over the next few years, but the important part is the overall reproductive push. Good cone years are excellent times to plan or carry out a white pine harvest — especially if you want strong natural regeneration afterward. When seed is abundant, new seedlings have a much better shot at getting established after a timber harvest.

If you’re noticing this in your woods or thinking about management, timber, or a long‑term plan, feel free to reach out. Always happy to talk through what a year like this means for your property.

🐛🌳 PSA: Winter Moth is Active Right Now in the Midcoast Region — Take a Look at Your Trees
If you’ve been hearing what sounds like light rain hitting dry leaves under your oaks and maples lately… that’s not rain.
That’s frass — caterpillar droppings — falling from winter moth larvae that are still actively feeding.
Take a listen to my videos- not as vivid as in person but you’ll get the drift. Also a few pictures of the caterpillar, the grass, and foliage being eaten.
These invasive inchworms have been causing noticeable defoliation this spring in parts of the Midcoast, especially on oaks. While it can look (and sound) dramatic, here’s what most forest landowners can realistically expect:
• Healthy trees will usually push out a second set of leaves later this summer.
• You’ll likely see reduced growth this year — research in similar conditions shows up to a 50% reduction in radial growth on oaks during heavy feeding years.
• One year of defoliation is rarely fatal for vigorous trees, but repeated years in a row can lead to branch dieback and increased stress.
• Maples are usually less affected than oaks.
What you can do right now:
Walk your woodlot this week and take a look. Note which trees are hit hardest and roughly how much of the canopy is affected. That quick check gives you a much better sense of what you’re dealing with than the sound alone.
If you’re concerned about how this might affect your woodlot, Tree Growth Tax plans, or long-term forest health, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to come take a look and give you straight advice based on what’s actually happening on your property. The Maine Forest Service has an entomology team with lots of info as well.
Have you noticed this on your land this year? Feel free to comment or message me — I’m tracking how widespread it is this season.

🛣️🚜 Proper access is everything in forest management.
Poor roads that only work in perfect dry or frozen conditions make harvesting far more difficult — often eating into the timber’s value due to the lack of operability for the trucking.
On this client’s property in Woolwich, we’re upgrading the access road as part of a harvest. We’re properly ditching it, installing cross drainage and culverts, and laying crushed stone and gravel.
This smart investment will make the landowner’s woodlot significantly more valuable! And easier to “access”!
Thanks to CTL Land Management, Inc. for getting this road ready! The landowner will be pleased!

🌳Today I visited a beautiful 125-acre property of upland hardwood and pine in Limington today. The landowner took me deep into the forest to show me an American chestnut tree — 60 feet tall with a 12-inch diameter. This resilient beauty has survived multiple logging operations over the years. A real fine specimen.
American chestnuts were once a significant part of southern Maine forests before the chestnut blight. Protecting this tree — along with possibly propagating others — will be a key focal point as management and harvesting on the property are being planned.
The landowner has been actively collecting and spreading its seeds to help bring them back. I really appreciate the dedication so many landowners have to stewarding their forests.
Looking forward to getting some work started on this special piece of land.

🌳 Feels too good to kick off the summer jobs! Out here managing an 80-acre woodlot for a client that hasn’t seen a saw in years. We’re giving those beautiful red oaks room to thrive while pulling out some pine, quality firewood, and mat logs.
Nothing like watching the equipment do its thing — here’s Kyle of CTL Land Management Services in the processor making quick work of some red maple!
Huge shoutout to the excellent contractors who bring the skill and service every time. We got a few more crews to get going and we’ll be back full bore. Here’s to summer!☀️🌲

🌲 Red Spruce Appreciation Post 🌲
As a forester, Red Spruce is my favorite tree. It’s incredibly resilient — it can hang out in the understory for many years as advance regeneration, just waiting for that canopy opening. When light hits, it responds quickly, making natural regeneration straightforward and reliable.
It consistently has a strong market for lumber (the pulp market was big back in the day, but now we maximize value even from smaller sizes). You can grow a lot of volume on these sites, and the trunks have that nice straight form with little taper — perfect for efficient harvesting and milling. Sometimes called Acadian spruce, it’s a true icon of our northeastern forests.
From the Northern Maine spruce flats to the rocky coast of Maine- cheers to spruce! Who’s got some good spruce pictures to share?

🌲 Great news for Maine woodland owners!
The Maine Forest Service WoodsWISE Resilience Program is offering up to 90% cost-share assistance (for qualifying underserved landowners, see if you qualify at MFS website) on important forest management work that’s often too expensive to tackle alone.
Eligible practices include:
✅ Pre-commercial thinning
✅ Crop tree release
✅ Tree planting
✅ Early commercial thinning
✅ Regeneration support & other resilience-building treatments
These practices help your woods become healthier, more productive, and better able to handle climate stress, pests, and other challenges.
If you’ve been putting off needed work because of cost, now’s the perfect time. As a trained Resilience Forester, I can help you get a plan together right away — including a site visit— and walk you through the entire process.
Reach out today! DM me, comment below, or contact me directly. Let’s get a plan together, walk your property, talk about your goals, and make this work happen with maximum support.
Let’s build stronger forests in Maine! 🌲

🌲Kicked off a new management project this week in Brunswick on a property that hasn’t seen any work since a heavy harvest in the 1950s. What’s grown back is a beautiful mix of large red spruce, white pine, hemlock, and pockets of medium‑sized yellow birch and red oak.

The forest floor tells the story of a closed canopy—seedlings are scarce—but the ones that are hanging on are red spruce. They’re tough, shade‑tolerant, and patient. The photo shows a spruce seedling perched on an old stump, still biding its time. Red spruce can sit in the understory for decades and then respond quickly when light finally reaches the ground. There’s also a tremendous amount of cones on the mature spruce this year making a harvest even more attractive.

Our goal here is to open things up just enough to get the yellow birch and red oak maturing, encourage a new wave of saplings, and set this stand up for the next generation of healthy growth. After 70 years of resting, it’s ready for thoughtful stewardship again.

If you’ve got a property with older harvest history and you’re curious what the next step should be, I’m always happy to take a walk and talk through options.
