Consulting Forester Can run your timber sale

The Nature Conservancy

Western piedmont and northwest mountains · 25 counties

This firm's office is in Indianapolis, IN, outside North Carolina. It appears here because the N.C. Forest Service register lists it as working 25 North Carolina counties. Worth asking how far they'll travel for a tract your size.

About The Nature Conservancy

This entry is unusual: a national conservation organization holding a North Carolina registration, with the office on file in Indianapolis, Indiana, and twenty-five counties listed across the western piedmont and the northwestern mountains. The service list is short and specific — management plans, stand improvement, forest real estate, stewardship plans, and all three timber-sale services from appraisal through to sale administration. Both ACF and SAF memberships are recorded. Seven services is among the narrowest on the register, so anything outside that set would have to come from elsewhere.
