Jacob Fontaine
Jacob graduated from Paul Smiths College in may of 2025 with a Bachelors of Science in Forestry that concentrated in operations. It was not long after his graduation he began working with Jeremiah and Anthony. During his time at Paul Smiths he gained experience logging, working for the college's logging crew, got to participate in a forest restoration project in Arizona, and had the opportunity to study abroad in the states of Kerela and Tamil Nadu in India to learn about their forestry practices. In addition to his degree, Jacob joined us with an extensive background in custom high end woodworking and tree care. Jacob is a Society of American Forester's member and is working towards becoming a candidate certified forester with SAF. He has been an awesome new asset to our team, that offers new perspective to forest management, with a positive attitude and ambition in helping our landowners achieve their goals and objectives of managing their forests. He values being a steward of our forests, using his experiences and passion of silviculture and forest ecology to cater to current and future forests needs.
Experience and Expertise
As with any profession, knowledge and expertise in specific areas of practice are enhanced and sharpened with years of experience in a given area. The areas of experience and expertise Anthony has acquired are primarily in timber management, sales and in forest management planning, especially regarding implementation of the New York State Forest Tax Law, (sec. 480-a) forest land tax exemption program. In more recent years much experience has been gained working with the Watershed Agricultural Program, as a Watershed Qualified Forester, enabling landowners to receive funding, (grant money) to offset the cost of forest management services on properties which lie within the bounds of the New York City Watershed in the Catskill Mountain region.
Stewardship Philosophy
"I believe that the management of our natural resources is all about stewardship. Being a steward of our forest and associated resources carries a sense of responsibility to care for something that extends beyond our personal lives, and which may affect the quality of lives in future generations. I consider the use of trees and wood products as an absolutely essential part of what life should be. The better we understand the science and application of good conservation practice, the better we can manage this incredible renewable resource" - Anthony

Improvement in Technological Capabilities
We take pride in utilizing advanced technologies like Q GIS mapping software to improve the quality of our printed maps, making them not only precise but also allows our clients to access their forest type maps on their mobile devices via Avenza Maps, similar to On X Hunt or Hunt Stand. Furthermore, our recent acquisition of Forest Metrix Pro enables us to analyze our data with improved accuracy and gives us the ability to adopt new data collection techniques. This effective combination allows us to deliver a more clear understanding of forest management, ultimately enhancing our services and supporting sustainable practices.
