Over the years, MB&G has worked on exciting and nonconventional projects. Our broad array of skills enables us to respond to a variety of projects, ranging from evaluating the impact of logging trends on spotted owl populations, internal/external audits of regional forest products companies’ operational issues, and assistance to a major drug manufacturer on developing Pacific Yew bark supply chains. Our staff has also participated in many forest management cost surveys in the Pacific Northwest and other US regions.
