A consulting forester works for you — they measure what's standing, tell you what it's worth, and run a competitive sale, usually for a percentage of the price. That makes their interests line up with yours. 24 of the 34 foresters covering Franklin County offer the full set — appraisal, cruise, and running the sale itself. How to decide whether you need one

Abbott Forestry Services, LLC is a forestry consulting business in Arkansas. The person behind it is a fourth generation landowner who manages timberland and says the work grew out of wanting to know how to handle their own family's timber investment and estate. They take on appraisals, financial analysis, management plans, stewardship plans, timber cruising, timber marking and marketing, painting boundary lines, site prep and reforestation, and wildlife management. That covers a lot of ground, from putting a number on standing timber to planning a harvest to helping with what comes after, like replanting. They also mention timberland valuation, GIS mapping, and hunting property design as areas of focus. The company holds an Arkansas Registered Forester credential and belongs to the Arkansas Forestry Association, the Association of Consulting Foresters of America, and the Society of American Foresters, along with a real estate appraiser credential. Their motto sums up the approach: "Traditional wisdom, modern vision."

Kingwood Forestry Services, Inc. Arkadelphia is a forestry consulting firm with an office in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, along with additional offices in Monticello, Arkansas and Texarkana, Texas.

The work covers the full cycle of owning timberland: timber cruising, timber and land appraisals, management plans, timber marking and boundary painting, site prep and reforestation, wildlife management, hunting and recreational leases, drone and aerial photography, and timber litigation support. When it's time to sell, Kingwood prepares a timber sale prospectus with inventory estimates, harvest maps, and bid procedures, then advertises the sale to a database of buyers, mills, and logging contractors, while the landowner keeps the final say on whether to accept a bid. The firm says it operates only as "Agent for the Seller" and is not a logging contractor or timber buyer, so it has "no conflict of interest" when marketing your timber. Staff include registered foresters, licensed real estate brokers, and licensed appraisers; one of its foresters holds a BS in Forestry from the University of Arkansas at Monticello. The firm serves Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. It says its managed properties range from under 20 acres up to tens of thousands of acres, so a small tract is still within reach. This suits a landowner who wants a forester to handle the whole sale process, with appraisal and real estate services available from the same office. From kingwoodforestry.com, read 3 October 2026.

Golden Oak Forestry, based in Russellville, is a forestry consulting business owned by Tim and Karen White. Tim is a registered Forester in Arkansas and a member of the Arkansas Forestry Association, a 1981 graduate in Forestry/Wildlife Management, and has worked as a private consultant for over 20 years. The work covers boundary line establishment and maintenance, timber inventory, timber stand improvement, timber sales, annual inspections, hunting and recreational lease administration, a long term management program, and beaver control. Species mentioned include shortleaf pine, white oak, willow oak, sweetgum, post oak, red oak, and overcup oak. On a sale, they mark timber for selective harvest or delineate areas for complete harvest, obtain bids, execute the timber sale contract or deed, and work with the harvest operation. As Tim puts it, "we have no other interest involved other than our client's interest," since they are not timber buyers themselves, and sales usually run "through a competitive bidding process." They cover a long list of counties across Arkansas, including Washington, Benton, Pope, Pulaski, Saline, and Madison, among others. Golden Oak says it has "inventoried properties as small as 10 acres," so that is the floor to expect for that kind of work. Their timber sale listings include a 25 acre bid sale and a 35 acre hardwood tract, the Bull Tract, so smaller sale jobs have been handled too. This fits a landowner who wants someone to run the whole sale process on their behalf, from marking to bids to contract, rather than deal directly with a buyer or logger.

Southern Sawmill & Lumber Co. is a sawmill in Ozark, Arkansas, on State Hwy 96. They work in cedar, cutting it to order rather than keeping a fixed stock of sizes. What they sell gives a sense of the scale of the work: cedar slabs cut in different widths and lengths, scrap cedar slabs sold by the trailer load, and cedar posts in a couple of set sizes. Since "all cuts made upon order," if you've got cedar on your land, you could bring them a log or a trailer load and have it cut to the dimensions you need rather than picking from a shelf. There's no stated minimum tract size. Going by the smallest items they list, this looks like a mill set up for smaller amounts of cedar, not large standing timber sales. They serve Franklin County, Arkansas. This one fits a landowner with cedar trees, maybe just a handful, who wants boards or posts cut to order rather than someone looking to sell a big timber tract.

The company buys and harvests pine, red cedar, and all hardwoods, taking in sawlogs, pulpwood, chip-n-saw, ply and veneer logs, pallet logs, handle logs, tie logs, and shavings logs. A sale runs in steps: they come look at your trees and give you a summary of what's harvestable along with an appraisal, you get a written contract to review before anything is cut, then harvest follows an agreed plan, and they clean up afterward, keeping limbs out of waterways and seeding the trails. They also do dozer work, tree marking, management plans, and firewood. They work in Benton, Boone, Carroll, Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Logan, Madison, Marion, Newton, Pope, Sebastian, and Washington counties. The crew has completed the Arkansas Master Loggers Course and is listed as a Master Logger. Their equipment includes a dozer, farm tractor, feller-buncher, knuckleboom loader, and rubber-tired skidder. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job on record is the 40 acres of timber that founder Clifford Taylor bought to start the business. On their own harvesting page, they say the aim is "treating your property like it's our own." This fits a landowner in those northwest Arkansas counties with a modest hardwood or pine tract, who wants a written contract and a cleanup plan spelled out before any cutting starts.

Georgia-Pacific WFS LLC-Gurdon is a sawmill and wood fiber buyer based in Gurdon, Arkansas. It takes in both hardwood pulpwood and pine pulpwood, and the species list it buys runs long: all hardwoods, ash, basswood, black/tupelo gum, cherry, cottonwood, hard maple, hickory, paulownia, pecan, persimmon, pine, red oak, soft maple, sweetgum, walnut, and white oak. It's set up to handle small tracts, and its listed equipment gives a sense of how it works a job: chipper, delimber, dozer, farm tractor, feller-buncher, knuckleboom loader, and rubber tired skidder. That's the gear for cutting, skidding, and processing wood, not just a mill gate scale. It serves a wide stretch of Arkansas, with counties served including Clark (where Gurdon sits), Ashley, Baxter, Benton, Boone, Bradley, Calhoun, Carroll, Chicot, Columbia, Conway, Craighead, Crawford, Crittenden, Cross, Dallas, Desha, Drew, Faulkner, Franklin, Fulton, Garland, Grant, Greene, Hempstead, Hot Spring, Howard, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Lafayette, Lawrence, Lee, Lincoln, Little River, Logan, Lonoke, Madison, Marion, Miller, Mississippi, Monroe, Montgomery, Nevada, Newton, Ouachita, Perry, Phillips, Pike, Poinsett, Polk, Pope, Prairie, Pulaski, Randolph, Saline, Scott, Searcy, Sebastian, Sevier, Sharp, St. Francis, Stone, Union, Van Buren, Washington, White, Woodruff, and Yell. The parent company traces back to 1927, "Founded in Augusta, Georgia, as Georgia Hardwood Lumber Company, a hardwood lumber wholesaler." This fits a landowner who wants a mill-connected buyer able to take a small tract and a wide mix of hardwood and pine species, rather than someone hunting for a boutique forestry consultant.

Independent Stave Co. buys timber in Arkansas, working out of a cooperage business that has been going since 1912. They are after white oak and walnut, mainly stave logs, hardwood sawlogs, and ply or veneer logs, and they have Master Logger credentials. They cover a long list of Arkansas counties, including Baxter, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Cleburne, Pulaski, Saline, Sebastian, White, and Yell, among many others across the state. Their log procurement side works with local loggers to harvest wood sustainably, and their forestry and land management arm builds land management plans for the ground they handle, covering timber harvest, invasive plant control, and thinning to improve forest health. They've said plainly that "when we own the land, there is complete control over the process, both from a quality and sustainability standpoint." There's no stated minimum acreage for buying logs from a landowner's property. The only acreage figure they show is a land purchase of 8,016 forested acres near Somerset, Kentucky, so that gives a sense of the scale they're used to working at when they own ground outright, though that's a land purchase, not a stated floor for a log sale. This fits a landowner with a serious stand of white oak or walnut who wants a buyer tied to a long-running mill operation, rather than someone with a small mixed woodlot looking for a quick, informal sale.

Long Valley Timber LLC is a logging and timber buying company based in Huntsville, Arkansas, on Madison 7855. They cut and buy timber themselves, then run it through their own mill rather than selling to a third party. They take on selective logging, access road building, and brush and debris cleanup, and they buy cedar sawlogs, hardwood sawlogs, ply and veneer logs, stave logs, and tie logs. Species they work with include ash, cherry, hard maple, hickory, red cedar, red oak, soft maple, sweetgum, walnut, and white oak, with white oak stave logs and black walnut called out as premium. A sale starts with a walk of the property to look at species, grade, and volume, then a value estimate, a harvest plan you approve before any cutting starts, and payment once the logs are scaled at their mill. They say landowners stay "in Full Control" of what gets cut and what stays, and they describe their approach as "Land-First Logging," using selective harvest to protect forest health, water flow, and wildlife habitat. They cover Baxter, Benton, Carroll, Conway, Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Logan, Marion, Newton, Pope, Searcy, Sebastian, Stone, Van Buren, and Washington counties in Arkansas, as well as Southwest Missouri and Northeast Oklahoma. They hold Master Logger certification and say they are licensed, insured, and certified through the Arkansas Timber Producers Association, with a BBB accreditation and A+ rating. They describe a 30+ year legacy of timber work. This fits a landowner who wants a direct-to-mill buyer handling both the buying and the cutting in one operation, across a fairly wide stretch of the Ozarks.

One Family Hardwood is a sawmill and log buyer based in Saint Joseph. They cut logs and buy standing timber, and their own listing marks them as open to small tracts. They buy Ash, Aspen, Basswood (Lynn), Cottonwood, Cherry, Coffee, Elm (Red or Grey), Hackberry, Hickory (or Pecan), Locust, Maple (Soft or Hard Maple), Red Oak, Sycamore, Walnut, and White Oak, along with Red Cedar, which they sell on as cedar posts and cedar sawlogs. They purchase logs year round. Trees and logs are measured by diameter at the small end inside the bark and priced on the Doyle scale, which they note is the standard for North American hardwoods, warning that buyers quoting a bigger number on the International scale may still pay less per board foot. One plain rule they're firm on: "NO YARD TREES," meaning anything that's been mowed around is off the table. Their pitch to a landowner is straightforward, that "Standing Timber and Cut Logs are the most profitable to you (the landowner) when sold directly to a sawmill," since it cuts out the middlemen. They are listed as serving a long run of counties across Arkansas, among them Pulaski, Washington, Craighead, Garland, and many others on their list. This fits a landowner with marketable hardwood or cedar on a small or mid-size tract who wants to sell straight to the mill that will cut the logs, and who wants the measuring and scale explained up front rather than guessed at.

Ozark Timber is a sawmill based in St Joe, Arkansas, also known as Layton's Ozark Timber Sawmill and Fencing, running since 1967. If you've got standing timber on your land, this is a mill that takes in logs and turns them into lumber and fence products, not a company that walks your property to mark trees ahead of a sale. The mill works with pine, cherry, red cedar, red oak, and white oak. It handles cedar posts, pine poles, pine sawlogs, pine pulpwood, hardwood sawlogs, hardwood pulpwood, stave logs, and tie logs. Its own fence line, Copperwood, is cut from locally harvested Southern Yellow Pine and "processed and treated with copper naphthenate right here on our yard," then sold on through a network of fence company dealers rather than straight to a landowner. The 15 year limited warranty covers installed Copperwood fencing, not timber purchased off a tract. Ozark Timber works as a timber buyer and sawmill out of St Joe, serving Boone, Carroll, Franklin, Johnson, Marion, Newton, Pope, Searcy, Stone, Van Buren, and White counties. This suits a landowner near St Joe who wants a long-running local mill that will take pine or hardwood logs off a property, more than someone looking for a company to walk the land and set up the sale itself.

White Valley Lumber Mill is a sawmill in Mulberry, Arkansas, serving Franklin County and the wider Northwest Arkansas area. It calls itself "the largest full service Aromatic Eastern Red Cedar lumber mill in the Mulberry area of Northwest Arkansas." The mill is family run, started by John Volkmann Sr. after he retired from a homebuilding business in Wisconsin and moved to Mulberry. The work here is milling and custom cutting, not standing timber sales or logging. They cut Aromatic Eastern Red Cedar, Oak, and Southern Yellow Pine, though they no longer mill pine themselves and now sell yellow pine beams still on hand in various sizes. Products include custom cut cedar mantels, live edge table top slabs, pine beams, custom cut lumber, and laser engraving, along with domestic and international exports. The mill has grown from one diesel saw and three workers to two electric Wood-Mizer head saws, a diesel head saw, two resaws, and a crew of twelve. Local delivery runs $2.25 a loaded mile. This is a "full-service lumber mill" built around cedar and custom cut wood products, not a service for landowners looking to sell standing timber or get a forestry consult. It suits someone who already has logs or wants finished boards, mantels, slabs, or beams cut to order, and who is in reach of Mulberry for pickup or local delivery.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Franklin County?
67 businesses are listed for Franklin County: 34 consulting foresters and 33 buyers, loggers and mills. 3 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Franklin County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Franklin County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Franklin County?
No price series is published for Franklin County on its own. Arkansas's latest published stumpage figures (University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension, Q1 2026) put mixed hardwood sawtimber at $37.69 per ton. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
