ABOUT US

Clum Forestry Consultants was established in 1997. In January 2020, Randy and Koral Clum sold their company to Keith Daisher, who had been an employee since 2013. Randy and Koral Clum are still working full-time with Keith. To celebrate passing the torch to a new generation of Forester, the business name was changed to Clum-Daisher Forestry, LLC. As a team, Clum-Daisher Forestry is here to help you meet all of your forestry needs and ensure that your woodland acres are healthy. We want you to enjoy your forest to the fullest!

Our service area includes Northeast, Central, and Southeast Ohio - the majority of counties served include Carroll, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, Tuscarawas, and Wayne.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

TIMBER SALES

The primary reason Clum-Daisher Forestry exists is because it can be very complicated and difficult for landowners to sell timber on their own. A harvest is something that many will only experience once or twice in their life time, so one of the main things we do for our clients is support them through the timber sale process. There is no escaping the truth that the “best price” may not be the “best deal” when it comes to harvesting trees.

PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION CAUV / OFTL

There are laws that allow you to save money on your property taxes in Ohio. You might be eligible for Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) or the Ohio Forest Tax Law (OFTL). For either program, the landowner needs a written 10-year Forest Management Plan. We can write the plan for you, based on your objectives. If your land is not already enrolled in one of these programs, it is worth checking into. CAUV requirements differ from county to county – we can help you navigate the best options for your woodland.

FOREST MANAGEMENT

Successful forest management needs to start with the landowner’s personal goals. Your list of objectives might include the following: income (for college tuition, farm upkeep, retirement, etc), forest health, deer habitat, trail development, family recreation, tax liability reduction, water quality, erosion control, or just preserving the beauty of a special spot. What matters most about YOUR woods? We would enjoy getting to know you and your land and help out by talking through your options with you.

APPRAISALS

Appraisals are important for many different reasons. You may need one during the transfer of an estate, to establish a basis to reduce your tax liability, to settle a legal dispute, or simply because you want to know the value of your forest asset. We can complete an inventory which will help meet your needs.

TREE FARM INSPECTING

Sometimes land & forest management involves getting up close & personal to survey individual trees to inform management strategies, to protect against the spread of disease, to mitigate hazards & ensure tree safety.
