About Forest Resource Services

Two counties — Chatham and Lee — and nothing beyond them, about as tight a footprint as anyone on the register works. It comes with a caveat worth stating plainly: the register lists this firm for timber sale and contract administration, but not for timber appraisal or timber cruising. If you want the stand valued and measured before it goes to market, that part isn't on the record here. What is listed is management planning, reforestation, stand improvement, recreation, utilization and marketing, and wildlife management.

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 — not listed

works out what your standing timber is worth

Timber Cruise — not listed

measures and grades what's actually out there

Sale Administration

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.
