Russell Forestry Services

Carl Russell managed Earthwise Farm with his wife Lisa McCrory, and operated Russell Forestry Services from 1986 until his untimely death in June, 2022.

He specialized in ecological forestry and low-impact timber harvest with draft animals. His forestry service believed that timber production, wildlife habitat, wetlands and ground water protection, recreation, aesthetics, and ecological integrity are all objectives that can be important considerations of landowners and managers. And that Trees not only provide the salable products that help to afford these uses, they are the major components of the forest and they define the value of the many uses of forestland.

Stay tuned.... one or more of Carl & Lisa's children may follow in Carl's forestry footsteps.
