Since becoming self-employed in 2001, he has managed a diverse portfolio of woodlands in the Scottish Borders while developing specialist forestry software and delivering services to leading forest management companies.
Over the years, Mark has developed a particular expertise in forestry surveys, supplying accurate data for harvesting operations, woodland valuations, and pre-purchase assessments. He also offers professional forestry data processing services for UK and Irish woodlands, including sample plot surveys and abbreviated tariffs, delivering fast turnaround times and clear, easy-to-use reports and data files for forest managers, surveyors, and investors.

Chartered Forester Mark B. Page NDF, provides professional forestry consultancy, timber measurement, woodland management, certification support, and mensuration training throughout the UK and overseas. Using advanced digital surveying equipment and proven Forestry Commission methodologies, we deliver accurate woodland assessments, forest valuations, yield class surveys, and volume calculations for forest managers, investors, and landowners.

With many years of experience in woodland measurement and data processing, I developed CaliperBase, a specialist system designed to process data collected using Masser RACAL and traditional Masser one-button calipers. I provide a complete UK and Irish woodland data processing service, together with practical support for surveyors and forest managers on data collection, preparation, and submission. CaliperBase handles sample plots, abbreviated tariffs, mixed stands, and pure crops, with all data processed in accordance with UK Forestry Commission conventions. Results are supplied in PDF, spreadsheet, or CSV formats, giving managers clear, transparent information for validation and decision-making. Whether you require volume assessments for timber harvesting, woodland valuation, or forest investment appraisals, reports are delivered quickly, accurately, and at a competitive cost, saving valuable time for busy forestry professionals.
