OUR STORY
Iron Mountain Forestry, LLC was created by Daniel J. Bickhard in 2020. Daniel has a rich career history delivering performance improvements, guiding sophisticated construction projects, developing and cultivation subcontractor relationships and resolving complex problems and concerns for private clients, government agencies and private companies.
Dan is an accomplished leader with a propensity for attaining results that strengthen competitiveness and customer satisfaction. He thrives on challenging opportunities with tight deadlines and restrictive budgets. He is driven to deliver project focus while complying with all safety regulations.
It began with a collaboration between landowners, the Colorado State Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS). Iron Mountain Forestry LLC worked to implement prescribed treatments for forest health. We have been entrusted in transmission and distribution line rebuild projects with power line rebuilds over the mountains.
Iron Mountain has the manpower and equipment to remove vegetation and provide other emergency services. We also help companies design and institute a Vegetation Management Plan to keep in compliance, avoid fines and help them better serve their customers.
