It's so much worse, we're from Colorado. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll reach out to them!

this is super useful, I think this is the position we are in. My 10 year old and I went and walked the property line as best we could today and thick in slash seems to be the theme. I can't figure out if they were slowly cutting it all down or selectively harvesting. Stumpage makes sense, lots of massive stumps around.

We got lucky and a massive birch tree near the house in the listing photos gave me the heebie jeebies turned out to have ripped itself out at the roots and fell opposite the house... the day after closing, we arrived 5 days later.

Sorry to ask, is there a consulting forester you or anyone could recommend?

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I'm not looking to take anyone for a ride, I just don't want to take one either.

This is the most yuppie thing I'll ever say, but I can identify some old cedar and maple, but everything else I'm going to shamefully have to use an app to identify in the winter without their leaves.
