Lane Environmental Consultants
This firm's office is in Suffolk, VA, outside North Carolina. It appears here because the N.C. Forest Service register lists it as working 18 North Carolina counties. Worth asking how far they'll travel for a tract your size.
About Lane Environmental Consultants
The office is across the state line in Suffolk, Virginia, and the work listed here is not a timber sale. The register credits this firm with cruising and management mapping, but not with appraisal or sale administration — two of the three pieces a landowner needs to run a competitive sale. What it does list is environmental impact statements, wetland delineation, wildlife management and stewardship plans across eighteen counties in northeastern North Carolina, from the Albemarle counties inland to Nash, Franklin and Wilson. A six-service entry, and a narrow one on purpose.
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
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.
