Dougherty & Dougherty Forestry Services, Inc.
This firm's office is in Athens, GA, outside North Carolina. It appears here because the N.C. Forest Service register lists it as working 63 North Carolina counties. Worth asking how far they'll travel for a tract your size.
About Dougherty & Dougherty Forestry Services, Inc.
Sixty-three North Carolina counties is a wide net — foothills at Wilkes and McDowell, the whole piedmont, and coastal plain out to Brunswick and Craven — and it is worked from an office in Athens, Georgia. One thing to settle before hiring: the register credits this firm with timber appraisal and cruising but not with timber sale and contract administration, so if you want someone to run the sale itself and hold the contract, ask directly. Twelve services otherwise, prescribed burning, herbicide application and wildlife management among them.
Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber Appraisal
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise
measures and grades what's actually out there
Sale Administration — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
