I have had the opportunity to work with Mike on my land as well as a member of the Moretown Select Board updating the Town Forestry Management Plan. Mike’s knowledge of Vermont’s woodlands, habitat, flora and fauna along with his attention to details is amazing. It is heartening to know that our landscape- forest to field has someone like Mike watching them!

We have been working with Michael Brown for our forestry and forestry management needs since 2014; initially when Michael was with a larger firm, and since 2018 when he went out on his own. Over the course of this timeframe, Michael has provided three forestry management plans and has overseen two different logging projects as well as boundary and blazing efforts. We went with Michael when he struck out on his own, largely due to his professionalism and knowledge of our properties. We have been very satisfied with the quality of the work and the projects that he has undertaken and supervised. We have recommended Michael to friends who also have forestry management needs. I expect that we will be with him and Birdseye Forestry for as long as we have forestry management needs in Vermont, or as long as he is in business.

Birdseye Forestry has been superb, providing us with a wide range of excellent forestry and management services in Washington County over many years, including preparation and administration of Forest Management Plans and Amendments, engagement and supervision of timber and property management work, property mapping, and preparation and filing of FMAR reports, to name just a few examples.  The work has been the very best.  Not only is Michael extremely knowledgeable with a high level of experience, he also has a great reputation with county foresters and the State of Vermont and has developed a network of trusted professionals to work with when managing properties.  Michael has been an invaluable resource who has taken the time to understand our ultimate goal of improving our farm and woodlands and passing them on to our children to do the same, hopefully also with his help.

Not satisfied with my prior forester's current use plan, I hired Michael to devise a management plan to enroll my 150 acre property in the new Forest Reserve program. After his careful survey and mapping, the plan was accepted, a first in Chittenden County, if not VT! Thanks, Michael!

David, in Jericho

Excellent experience with Michael. We have raw land in central VT, that needed a few services. Michael helped update our 10yr forest management plan, and also gave us more accurate property lines.

Birdseye Forestry Consulting recently developed a Current Use forestry plan for my sister and I. Michael’s knowledge is impressive. He attentively listened to our rather vague ideas and interpreted them into a detailed and appropriate plan. We much appreciated his patience in explaining unfamiliar terms to us. The plan was finished on time and within budget. We are looking forward to working with Michael for all our future forestry needs.

The Jericho Underhill Land Trust has been working with Birdseye Forestry as our managing forester for the last several years. Michael is responsive to our needs and has demonstrated his knowledge of ecological forestry practices. Thanks to his help, we have a Forestry Management Plan with prescriptions that will make our forests more climate resilient and create better habitat for wildlife. As an organization responsible for long term woodland stewardship, we highly recommend Birdseye Forestry.

Michael is knowledgeable and incredibly responsive in all stages from developing a forest management plan to communicating with loggers and even customizing close out procedure to our needs. I recommend Birdseye to everyone I know. I could not be happier with the work he has done.

I hired BirdsEye Forestry Consulting to do a forestry plan and submit our Current Use application. Michael Brown has a real commitment to his customers from the moment he starts. He handled all the communications with the County Forester, town office and the state agency. He's a good listener and he made it fun. It was great to get sophisticated mapping and thorough guidance! We got everything we wanted at a reasonable price. There is no question I'll continue to do any follow-up with BirdsEye Forestry Consulting.
