About Stevens Forestry Service, Inc
Stevens Forestry Service, Inc is a forestry consulting firm based in El Dorado, Arkansas, with an office in Louisiana too. They've been at this since 1950, and the staff brings "over 150 years of combined forestry experience" between registered foresters, a licensed real estate broker, and registered appraisers. They handle complete forest management on pine, hardwood, mixed pine hardwood, and bottomland hardwood tracts. When it's time to sell your timber, they market it either as lump sum sealed bids or pay-as-cut, whichever fits your tract and what you want out of it. They send prospectuses out to mills and wood producers to find buyers, and their foresters check in on harvesting operations to make sure the logging crew is sticking to the contract and following best practices. Beyond timber sales they also do timberland appraisals (following USPAP guidelines), real estate brokerage for land sales, management plans, timber cruising, boundary marking, firebreaks, site prep and reforestation, and wildlife management. They also fly their own fixed-wing aircraft for aerial inspections, which they say is handy for checking on fire, storm, or insect damage. No stated minimum acreage, but the smallest tract they've shown for sale is 25 acres in Columbia County, Arkansas, so smaller parcels seem to be within reach. They cover a long list of counties across Arkansas, from Benton and Washington down to Union and Chicot, plus work into Louisiana. This fits a landowner with a sizable tract, pine or hardwood, who wants one outfit that can run the timber sale, handle the paperwork, and also talk land value or a future sale if that's part of the plan.
