How We Work

A Thoughtful, Disciplined Approach to Land & Fire Management

At Timber & Ember Co., our work is guided by intention—not urgency. Every property, landscape, and objective is different, and we approach each project with the respect and planning it deserves.

Our process is built around clear decision-making, safety, and long-term stewardship of the land.

Planning Before Action

Effective land and fire management starts long before work begins. Before we recommend any treatment, we take the time to understand conditions on the ground and what success looks like for the landowner.



We evaluate:

•Current land and vegetation conditions

•Risks, constraints, and access considerations

•Ecological and habitat considerations

•Your goals and long-term vision



This ensures recommendations are purposeful, practical, and aligned with lasting outcomes.

The Right Tool at the Right Time

No single method is the answer everywhere. We select tools based on site conditions—not convenience.



Depending on the land and objectives, this may include:

•Mechanical or manual fuel treatments

•Timber and habitat management strategies

•UAS mapping and property analysis

•Prescribed fire planning and operations

•Long-term maintenance and stewardship planning



Our priority is effectiveness with minimal unnecessary disturbance.

Safety as a Core Value

Safety is not a checkbox—it is embedded in how we plan, communicate, and operate.


We prioritize:

•Qualified personnel and clear operational roles

•Risk-aware decision-making and conservative thresholds

•Strong communication and defined boundaries

•Plans that protect people, property, and the landscape

Long-Term Thinking

We approach land management as a process, not a one-time event. Our work is designed to build resilience over time and reduce the need for expensive reactive decisions later.


We help clients:

•Prioritize work in phases

•Maintain improvements year after year

•Adapt plans as conditions change

•Align short-term actions with long-term land goals

Partnership, Not transactions

We view clients as partners in stewardship. Whether we’re supporting a private landowner, HOA, or public partner, we focus on clarity, honesty, and work that stands up to scrutiny.



You can expect:

•Clear communication at every stage

•Honest guidance—no unnecessary work

•Professional standards and accountability

•Respect for your land, goals, and investment
