About ForestScapes
ForestScapes L.L.C is a new, young and enthusiastic company working to help land managers meet their forestry objectives. We work with local, state and federal governments as well as private landowners to help keep their forest healthy and thriving.
Located in Humboldt and Del Norte County, ForestScapes has strong roots to the area. We are family owned and operated with a strong commitment to forest management.
Our Mission
The threat of wildfire and the importance of forest health increases every year. Climate change and drought make the issue much worse. As the need to protect communities and keep forests healthy grows, ForestScapes L.L.C. will be there to assist in making communities and businesses as resilient as possible. We will be working with private landowners and various government and non government agencies to meet their pre-commercial thinning and restoration needs.
Joe Snipes, Owner
I was born and raised in Crescent City. Growing up in the woods has helped me develop a desire to focus my work in the forest. My passions are being outdoors and spending time with my family. I have many years in rural forestry restoration, permaculture, and wildland fire experience. I love the North Coast and plan on calling it my home for many years to come.
