It’s our absolute pleasure to recommend Lynn Kolund with Dakota Forestry, LLC. We thoroughly enjoyed our time working with Lynn to prepare a Forest Stewardship Plan for our property. Lynn’s knowledge and expertise of the process, along with his hard work and dedication, played a major role in us obtaining agricultural status. Without a doubt, we confidently recommend Lynn to all land owners for all your forestry needs.

Lynn, I want to thank you so much for all that you have done for Holy Terror concerning our property located in Keystone, South Dakota. I just received our new property assessments yesterday that reflect our new agricultural designation and I received the check today for partial reimbursement for our tree farm expenses. Lynn, you are the man is all I can say.
Jack V. Marton
President, Holy Terror Mining Co.
As a land owner in the Black Hills, I would recommend Lynn Kolund. He helped my family set up our Forest Stewardship Plan. Because of his help, we have a better idea of how to manage our land and reduce the risk of forest fire. He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. Thank you, Lynn.

We needed a Forest Stewardship Plan in a hurry and did not know where to start. Lynn was highly recommended, and even though he was working on other projects, he made the time for us. He came to our tree farm and counseled us to prepare a plan that accomplishes our goals. Without Lynn’s expert assistance, we would not have been able to qualify for agricultural status for our farm’s property tax assessment. Since then, Lynn has helped us to implement our plan every step of the way, including counseling us on a future timber sale. Lynn has always been professional, respectful and considerate. I would definitely recommend Lynn to other landowners without any reservation.
