About D & S Forestry Service
D & S Forestry Service is a forestry consulting business based in Arkansas, registered under Arkansas Registered Forester number 396. It has been operating since September 1998. The work it takes on covers appraisals, management plans, stewardship plans, timber cruising, timber marketing, timber marking, boundary line painting, and timber litigation. It serves Hempstead, Howard, Lafayette, Little River, Miller, Nevada, and Sevier counties. The person behind it holds a B.S. in Forestry and is a state certified General Real Estate Appraiser in both Arkansas and Texas, with "30 years appraisal services for Farm Credit Service in Texas and Arkansas (retired)" behind them before starting this business. It also carries membership with the Arkansas Forestry Associations and the Real Estate Appraiser association. This fits a landowner in that corner of southwest Arkansas who wants someone comfortable with both the timber side and the appraisal side of a sale, including cases that end up needing litigation support.
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? →
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
