About four years ago In trying to setup my Martin Houses I had someone do a geo assessment on my property. I forgot how I requested this. I have a new PM landlord wanting advice of where to locate some housing in the Mountains. Does anyone recall who you contact?

Not as simple as as just goggle earth and copy the page?
A good house sparrow is a dead house sparrow.

No there was a group that looked at the site via google map and made recommendations. I have been on his site but this location is about 1700 feet up. He lives on a small mountain. I may have to contact the PM Association.

Never heard of an official site assessment but there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here. Post a google earth image of the property. What part of the country are they from. Living in the mid west the most common mountain range I travel through are the Appalachian mountains. I don't think I have seen many houses on these ranges that aren't covered in trees.

Yes I did this but I also recall someone doing a GPS map or Google Map back then circling trees that should be removed. I did remove the trees and Wow I now have three poles all gourds...48 . Thanks for finding this picture.
