Consulting Forester
Welcome to South Central Forest Products, LLC
Early in life I knew I loved trees, wildlife, and our environment. And early in my career I understood that people own the trees that make up the majority of our forests in the northeast. I find it a great privilege to be able to work with these important landowners in NY and PA and share my knowledge of Forest Management with them. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your woodlands as well as your goals and objectives regarding them!
I am proud to say I am able to offer forest landowners a great combination: a personable business owner, over 25 years of knowledge and experience with landowners and forestry, strong relationships with DEC foresters and other natural resources professionals, time tested and professional relationships with timber buyers, loggers, sawmills, and a drive to satisfy my clients with an eagerness to always learn more.

View All Services “I’ve worked with Mike Blasko for several years on multiple projects and have always found him thoughtful, knowledgeable, and helpful. He completed a forestry management plan for our 123 ac. property, ensuring it fully complied with the 480-a requirements as well as meeting the needs for all NRCS programs. He’s assisted with the purchase and planting of a sugar bush, over 800 sugar maple seedlings. I’ve also consulted with him on the purchase of additional forested property. In every instance Mike has been quick to respond and his advice has been sound. He’s also a wonderful intermediary with both state and offices regarding programs. I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing guidance on forest plans.”

Working with the people who own the trees.
I consistently put out and oversee timber sales with the ability and ambition to do the field work regardless of weather or time of year. I therefore have the ability to have up to date information of markets and pricing. Sale notices are sent to dozens of potential timber buyers in order to find the best markets and the best price for your timber. Your sale will be overseen by myself from beginning to end, with a performance bond held by myself from the buyer, to ensure you are satisfied and your property is well taken care of.
These unwanted species compete with native tree and shrub species diminishing forest diversity, wildlife habitat, and future forests by outcompeting new regeneration. Knowing how to best control these problem species will help your woodlands reach their best potential and allow for multiple uses by you.
Because of my education and years of experience, I have the ability to assist landowners in locating, identifying, and marking boundary lines. Identifying and maintaining accurate boundary lines is one of the best ways to prevent timber theft, poaching, and trespassing.
