About Mike

My name is Michael Chiverton. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, I fell in love with the forest at an early age.

In 2010, I enrolled in Syracuse University's school of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) and found my niche — forest management.

MC Forestry is a small family-run business — my wife, our daughter Tallulah, and our dogs Cashie and Remy.

  • Syracuse University ESF — forest management
  • Society of American Foresters certified
  • Licensed to practice forestry in NY & VT

Proof

…how important it was to have someone so knowledgeable and organized to make a plan that I could live by. Michael checks in and updates the plan every 5 years. The outcome has been a successful lumber sale with a good payment… It is truly a joy to trust and rely on a wonderful professional who knows his craft.
