About Forestry Consultants, Inc
Forestry Consultants, Inc. is a forestry and land business in Opelika, Alabama, working with landowners since 1984. The firm says it has done this for over 40 years. Its listed service county is Lee County, and it also manages hunting leases for private landowners throughout Alabama. The firm works for the landowner. It does not buy timber. Its timber sale work can include cruising and valuing the trees, preparing bid packages, running sealed bids or negotiating a price, and inspecting the harvest several times each week. It also does timber cruises and appraisals, family land divisions, forest management plans, tax basis records, tree planting and site preparation, prescribed burning, boundary maintenance, property inspections, and real estate work. Lisa Love, one of the people named on its pages, is a Registered Forester and licensed real estate agent. Consulting foresters Joseph Capps and Payton Reynolds are also named. A forester inspects your property, talks through your goals, and sends a written Proposal listing the work and fees. Before any work begins, you review and sign a brief work Proposal. The firm says fees are commonly a percentage of gross timber sale receipts, and they can also be charged hourly or by the whole project. The trees it names are planted pines and natural pines. This suits a landowner with pines in Lee County or the rest of Alabama who wants a forester to run a timber sale, a family division, or a hunting lease, and who wants the fees in writing before anything starts.
