About Larson & McGowin, LLC
Larson & McGowin, LLC is a forestry consulting firm in Greenville, Alabama, with its main office in Mobile at 251.438.4581. The firm traces back to 1938, when two partners began doing timber cruises and consulting for landowners. Its Greenville branch opened in the 1970s, and it serves Butler County. The work covers much of a stand's life. The firm does consulting forestry, timber and land appraisal, and timber sales, including sale administration. On the ground it offers silvicultural prescriptions, prescribed burning, site preparation by chemical or mechanical means, timber stand improvement, hand and machine tree planting, and herbicide application by air or ground. Other services include pine straw harvesting, firelines, roads and food plots, boundary line maintenance, mowing and mulching, beaver control, and insect and disease detection. It also does GIS and GPS mapping and aerial photography. On a new job, the firm usually starts with a fresh forest inventory. That inventory then feeds the planning, sale, appraisal and financial work it handles in-house. In their own words, "Every tree is earned." They say their field expertise has been built up over sixty years. It suits Butler County owners who want inventory, planning, timber sales and planting handled by one firm, and who are comfortable working with a company that also serves family partnerships, investment companies and university endowments.
