“Scott and Stewart Forestry were contracted for a cut of a large mature stand, and a clean up of other odd pockets around our woodlot. This was done over a period of three years and was handled professionally, with good communication and consideration of all our concerns. Re-planting began during the second year and was completed after the third.”
