Hi George,

Great question, thanks for asking it.  Unfortunately it is hard to give you a specific dollar amount.  It really depends on where you are.  I can recommend reaching out to some different foresters in your area and get an idea about what the range of fees.  You can find foresters in your area using the Forester Directory.  We have some additional resources that might help you as well:

• The Right Type of Forester
• Choosing a Consulting Forester
• Finding and Hiring a Consulting Forester
• The Difference between a Forester and a Logger

Hope that helps.

cheers,
