Colin Bagwell Forestry
About Colin Bagwell Forestry
Colin Bagwell Forestry is a forestry consulting business in Huntsville, Alabama, serving Madison County. For 56 years, the owner has given forest management assistance to landowners in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi. The business is closing. The owner has decided to retire and says his focus now is family, friends, and community. He recommends that anyone with forestry questions contact a forester who is a member of the Association of Consulting Foresters, and he points to that group's website for finding one. The owner's own words sum up the years: "Every minute of that time was enjoyable." This one suits a landowner who needs to be pointed to a current consulting forester, not one who wants to hire Colin Bagwell Forestry for a new job. From your-forester.com, read 17 October 2026.
Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — 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.
