Investors need to know the value of current forestland assets on an ongoing basis to assess the performance of their property managers; maintaining the value of forestland assets requires careful selection and scheduling of stand tending activities and equipment acquisitions to ensure optimal returns.

Cortex staff are recognized experts in the use of the Remsoft Spatial Planning System, including the Woodstock/Stanley solution that is the industry standard for financial modeling of forest lands . Woodstock's ability to establish transparent and defensible valuations over traditional methods (such as spreadsheets) is a critical factor in our choice of this software. In addition, our understanding of market drivers on both the cost and price sides of production systems allows us to develop plausible scenarios of future operating environments.

An integral part of our valuation and planning projects is the communication of analysis results to clients for internal and external purposes. We are well known for producing high quality technical reports, graphics, and presentation material.

Our clients include large private forestry companies, timber investment management organizations, small and medium size private investors, and governments.
