Interstate Forest Products
About Interstate Forest Products
The territory here is essentially the whole coastal plain, Virginia line to South Carolina, forty-five counties in all, plus a run up into Franklin, Granville, Vance and Warren. Read the service list closely before calling: the register credits timber appraisal and a cruise and volume estimate, but not timber sale and contract administration — so running and administering the sale itself would fall to someone else. What is listed is management planning and mapping, reforestation, stand improvement, prescribed burning, and utilization and marketing. Website listed.
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.
