About Mike

A forester who plans your woods like he’ll be back in five years — because he will.

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.

Hudson Valley born and raised — most at home around Bull’s Bridge, the Taconic foothills, and the Catskill high peaks.
