Our
Business Philosophy
The
objective of our business is to provide a high quality and reliable service for our customers. Whether it involves
a simple project that you want to accomplish or working with government agencies to enable you to accomplish your goal or
handle a problem, our backgrounds and many years of experience can help.
We
can assist with required reports and other paperwork that may be daunting. We can provide problem solving analysis and clarification
of issues with recommendations on solutions, methods and cost. We also provide field services to accomplish some
of the work and have developed a network of people who can provide additional expertise.
Our Consulting Business
Our
operating firm combines our education and experience to assist other property owners with issues that are of concern.
Mr.
Kendrick was educated in the broad field of Environmental Studies with water resources being his primary career for thirty
years. He carries various certifications and licenses in several western states and holds an Oregon CCB. Locally, he
is a Master Watershed Steward and Master Woodland Manager and served both on the board of directors and as past-president
of the local chapter of Oregon Small Woodlands Association.
Mrs.
Kendrick has thirty years of experience in civil engineering design, land development & planning, project management
and inspection, with twenty years locally.
Our combined
background and experience enable us to provide a balanced approach to any problem. Problem solving abilities, effective
presentation and coordination skills ensure satisfactory project completion.
Although
it is our respective technical fields which have required continuing education certifications in order to stay current
with technology and methods, a thirst for knowledge has been the force that drives us both. Since some of our natural
resource work has been on the Forest Farm, it provides a physical manifestation that serves as its own recommendation.

Projects
Redwood Wetland Project
Redwood Wetland is a project nearby that provides us with an opportunity to touch the lives of many people.
Although is was originally a state-mandated mitigation site, it has become a local nature site for surrounding residents,
as well as a home or wayside for the many types of wildlife that can be seen there. Its two small ponds provide
cool, respite for weary migratory birds and home for others. In addition to maintenance of the wetland site, we
prepared informational signs that assist people in understanding the workings and inhabitants within the wetlands, and
we provide a quarterly status report with in-depth information regarding our work and site observatiions.

Fire Suppression Thinning Project
This is a fire supression thinning project undertaken to help protect a homesite in the event of fire. You will
notice that the forest floor is somewhat cleared beneath the trees to remove fire fuels and the trees have been pruned high
up on the bole to prevent them from acting as fuel ladders, carrying fire up into the tree crowns.

to prevent loss of land due to chipping away of the creek bank from water movement. Field work was initiated to
collect necessary design data & calculations were undertaken to determine elevations/water levels. Reports and Plans
were prepared for submittal to Division of State Lands/Army Corp of Engineers as required for permitting. Coordination with
Marine Fisheries Habitat Conservation Division was required for approval of the project. Recommendations &
Construction Drawings were prepared to facilitate field construction.
