Consulting Forester Can run your timber sale

Appalachian Forestry

Western mountain counties · 24 counties

This firm's office is in Johnson City, TN, outside North Carolina. It appears here because the N.C. Forest Service register lists it as working 24 North Carolina counties. Worth asking how far they'll travel for a tract your size.

About Appalachian Forestry

Based over the line in Johnson City, Tennessee, and covering twenty-four counties in the North Carolina mountains — Cherokee, Clay and Graham in the far southwest, up through Buncombe and Madison to Ashe and Alleghany. The register lists five services and no more: management plans, timber appraisal, cruising, sale administration and logging engineering. That is a timber sale specialist's list, and logging engineering earns its place on steep ground. Nothing else is offered, so anything beyond the sale would need another firm.
