Horizon Forestry™ works with individuals, homeowner's associations, property managers, resorts, ski areas and ranches as well as local, state and federal agencies to provide site specific comprehensive Beetle Surveys and Management Plans.

Beetle Surveys provide site specific data detailing current beetle infestations, dead, hazard tree, forest over-crowding and forest stressors as well as beetle infestations on adjacent lands. The Beetle Survey creates an inventory of site forests, high-value, specimen and old growth trees. The Survey details forest composition including pine, spruce and deciduous make-up, site terrain, drainage and protection of water resources. Infra-red mapping, satellite imagery and GPS data may be incorporated as necessary.

A Management Plan provides a detailed physical analysis of the property incorporating information garnered from the Beetle Survey to provide specific treatment recommendations for current and expected beetle outbreaks.

The Management Plan provides a timeline for the effective implementation of beetle controls which may include recommendations on removal of infected trees, thinning for forest health, foliar fertilization, programmed preventative pesticide application, specific pesticide suggestions and application technologies for varying terrain, tree heights and the protection of humans, livestock and water resources.

Beetle Surveys and Management Plans create a solid foundation for the implementation of effective Mountain, Pine, Ips, Spruce and other bark beetle controls.
