He has been a consulting forester with Bay State Forestry since 2004. Prior to that, Mike worked for the Management Forestry Program for the Massachusetts Bureau of Forestry.

In his current position, Mike maintains a database for our foresters to collect inventory data in the field, prepare management plans and keep records of timber harvests and contract information. Mike’s professional interests include woodlot management, GIS and GPS mapping and conducting forest inventories. Of particular interest are projects that involve managing for declining wildlife habitats.
