| dc.description.abstract | Restoration contractors in western Montana are fostering ecosystem services on private lands while offering a variety of services to landowners. One such business, Watershed Consulting, LLC, has developed a successful business model that centers on the provision of ecological expertise and highly skilled work across the watershed in forest, range, and riparian land types. Watershed Consulting also markets wood harvested during restoration projects, through Bad Goat Forest Products, LLC. Selling these sustainably harvested wood products in niche markets, or working with landowners to utilize their own wood in building projects, can be seen as an embedded payment for ecosystem services, especially if they garner market share or a premium price because of the ecosystem values associated with the wood. | en_US |
