About Buffalo River Forestry
Buffalo River Forestry is a forestry consulting practice working out of Arkansas, serving landowners in Baxter, Boone, Carroll, Marion, Newton, Searcy, Stone, and Van Buren counties. The consultant holds a BS in Forestry from UAM and worked as a Forester for the Arkansas Department of Agriculture Forestry Division from 1990 to 2026. He is an Arkansas Registered Forester and an American Tree Farm System Inspector, and sits on the Ozark Chinquapin Foundation board. He is also "highly trained in prescribed fire management" and an "AR Qualified Prescribed Burner." The work on offer covers appraisals, management and stewardship plans, timber cruising, timber marking, boundary line painting, and timber marketing. That range suits a landowner who wants one person to handle a sale from first look to marked trees, and who also wants someone who can talk prescribed fire and long-term stewardship, not just a quick cruise and a check.

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? →
