Ray Lott & Associates, Inc. is a forestry and timberland consulting firm working across Arkansas. They describe themselves as "a full service forestry & timberland consulting firm that provides professional expertise + services for timber & timberland sales, management, litigation, appraisals, taxation, & investment." The work on offer is broad: timber cruising, marketing, and marking, management plans, appraisals, financial analysis, control burning, firebreaks, site prep and reforestation, aerial photography, wildlife management, tree farm inspection, and timber litigation.

Austin State University. They list counties served across nearly all of Arkansas, from Benton and Washington in the northwest to Chicot and Ashley in the southeast, so most landowners in the state fall within their reach. This firm suits a landowner who wants one contact for everything from a routine timber sale to an appraisal, a tax question, or a legal fight over boundaries or timber theft.
