About Davis & Associates
Davis & Associates is a forestry and environmental consulting firm based in Chestertown. They handle timber sales and appraisals alongside a wider line of work in wetland permitting, forest conservation plans, and compliance with laws like the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Law and the Maryland Forest Conservation Act. On the timber side, Davis & Associates acts as your agent through the whole sale. They walk the land, mark and tally what's to be cut, write up a bid invitation with diameter, species, and estimated board feet, then take it to competitive bidders. They say they pick trees "of poor form or those that are diseased or damaged as well as those of less desirable species" for removal, so the stand you keep is the healthier part of what you started with. They also handle timber trespass investigation and appraisal, if that's the situation you're in, and will oversee the logging operation and get needed permits once a buyer is picked. Their timber work has included sites in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area and land with wetlands, streams, or rare and endangered species on it, over 40 recent sales by their own count. Their broader project work, wetland delineations and the like, covers the Eastern Shore of Maryland and locations in Delaware. The firm has operated since 2005 and holds MBE/DBE certification with the Maryland and Delaware Departments of Transportation. This fits a landowner whose property carries some environmental complication, a wetland, a stream buffer, a protected species, where the timber sale and the permitting are tangled together and you want one firm handling both ends.

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? → — not listed
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? → — not listed
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.
