“I have had the pleasure of working with Barry on a number of technical projects and have always been impressed with his professionalism, technical know-how and ability to deliver a quality product on time and as promised. Barry has the unique combination of outstanding silvicultural expertise and strong investment analysis focus that are rarely found in an individual forestry consultant. Most importantly, Barry truly cares about his customers and he worked hard to make sure his project deliverables exceeded our expectations. Bottomline: I have had a great experience working with Barry and his team at Smarter Forestry and strongly endorse using them if you need a first class consulting firm to help you improve your forest management program.”

“Dr. Shiver continues to be a wonderful resource to our forestry firm and our clients. His expertise in forest management regimes and in the financial aspects of forest investments provides a level of comfort and assurance that is invaluable to our clients.”
