Hargrave Forestry Management Service
About Hargrave Forestry Management Service
Hargrave Forestry Management Service is a forestry consulting business working across a long list of counties in Arkansas. This is a register entry, so here's what's on record. The work covers a full range: timber cruising, timber marking, timber marketing, management plans, stewardship plans, aerial photography, control burning, firebreaks, paint boundary lines, site prep and reforestation, tree farm inspection, financial analysis, and wildlife management. They can write Stewardship Plans in Arkansas. The person behind it is an LSU Forestry graduate in Forest Management, with 17 years in forest management in both private and industry settings, and 10 years self-employed. They note they "specialize in Prescribed Burning & Pre-Commercial Thinning," with added focus on "High yield pine magt & hardwood mgt." Counties served stretch from Washington and Benton in the northwest to Chicot and Ashley in the southeast, covering a large share of the state. This fits a landowner who wants one consultant able to handle everything from a burn plan to a timber sale to a wildlife management plan, without hiring out each piece separately.
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? →
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? →
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.
