At Dougherty & Dougherty, we have experience, credentials, licenses, and memberships, but our focus is on producing “progressive” results. Depending on their individual focus, our client’s goals include maximizing returns from timber growth and harvest, minimizing taxes and diversifying their investment portfolio, producing quality wildlife habitat and hunting experiences, learning more about forestry investment, and improving aesthetics and being good land stewards or conservationists. Whether you wish to emphasize forest productivity, land stewardship, conservation, wildlife management, timber sales planning and implementation, or simply need reliable due diligence assistance we can help you meet your goals.
