Gogebic County, Upper Michigan, Forests, Wildlife, and Recreation. Upper Michigan is one of my favorite places with cool summers, snow filled winters and some of the best Sugar Maple in the world.With over 9 million acres of forestland, and not that many people, this place is a real treasure. This place may be a little tough on the deer with deep snows and less food than we see in Wisconsin or Lower Michigan, but you will find more of some of the other wildlife species like Bears, Moose, Wolves and much more.I am always impressed with the quality of the forests in the UP and so are many others who seek the high quality Sugar Maple that grow here so well, including many areas that are famous for their Birdseye Maple lumber.These Maples and the Northern Hardwoods that they grow with compr... 02/26/2017

Measuring the Forests of Michigan, Gogebic County     These are a few shots from a recent trip we took to the Northern part of Michigan for a 400,000 acre inventory and appraisal.   Lots of bald eagles up here, but they are generally shy about getting their pictures taken.   The timber in this stand is rather small, but the quality is consistently very good, a tribute to the previous corporate owners.   One of many Forestry Camps where we live as we travel across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Camping out saves fuel, time and money for us and our clients. I always enjoy the quality timber we see in the UP of Michigan. Three young Foresters, Rachel Kronenberg, Josh Watton, and Nick Crane posing for a quick picture before heading into the woods. We are always finding scraps of History out i... 07/05/2015
