Forestry Services Provided by the Maryland Forest Service

Timber Stand Improvement Marking
This involves the physical marking of trees for firewood, pulpwood, seed tree designation, routine thinnings, etc. The Maryland Forest Service cannot mark sawtimber (trees > 12” DBH), do volume estimates, or determine appraised value.
Maryland Forest Services Coordination
Maryland Forest Service professionals are available to coordinate forestry activities that are provided by private sector vendors. This includes tree plantings, site preparation, aerial spraying, non-commercial timber stand improvement, etc.
Planting Site Examinations
The Maryland Forest Service will conduct an on-site examination of any fields or open areas that landowners wish to plant in trees or shrubs and prepare a planting plan. A flat fee of $40.00 is charged for this service. Orders placed for tree seedlings from the John S. Ayton Tree Nursery within four months of the exam will be credited $10.00 toward the cost of the seedlings.
Forestry Equipment Rental
Certain specialized forestry equipment is available for rent by private landowners for use on both public and private lands. Please go to the Contact Us page for access information to the Calvert Forestry office for equipment rental information.
