California Registered Professional Forester

In the late 1990s, Marc Barnes, owner of Integrated Resource Management (IRM) obtained his California Registered Professional Forester (RPF) license.  To be able to complete any forest related work within the State of California, a person must be supervised by a RPF.

A RPF is a person licensed by the State of California to perform professional services that requires the application of forestry principles and techniques to assist in the management of forested landscapes.  To become a RPF, an individual must have seven years of experience in forestry work.  RPFs are required to take a comprehensive exam demonstrating an understanding of forest growth, development and regeneration, soils, geology and hydrology, wildlife and fisheries and other forest resources.

By having a RPF on staff, IRM is able to provide assistance to landowners large and small throughout California.  The following are a few of the services that we are able to provide as a RFP:

  • Preparing forest management plans;
  • Preparing and maintaining forest inventories;
  • Assisting in forestland appraisals;
  • Preparing timber harvest plans and contract administration;
  • And any other assistance a landowner may need.

IRM, with Marc Barnes’ supervision, has completed the following projects throughout California:

  • Campbell Group
    • Forest Inventory
  • Fruit Growers Supply
    • Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Audit
  • Oxbow Timber, LLC
    • Forest Inventory
