The Plum Line is not a product.
It is a new concept in forestry
& natural resource consulting.
We specialize in third-party
auditing, consulting, and training for forest certification.
The Plum Line is a forestry consulting partnership specializing in sustainable forest management systems. The Synergy of Complementary Services
The Plum Line is a team of two foresters who share a vision of consulting that addresses society’s needs for natural resources and natural environment values—by meeting the needs of clients who share that same vision. We are in business for the long run, and invite like-minded clients to join us in the journey.
- As broadly experience foresters, we know what is reasonable from the standpoint of sustainable forest management systems.
- As SFM Consultants and auditors, we know the discipline of a comprehensive, external look at our forest management and policy methods and products.
- Auditing helps us know what to look for in consulting and training.
- Consulting and training give us a realistic flavor of the challenges and opportunities that we must evaluate as auditors
