Dynamic Habitat Solutions describes itself as a faith and family-based land and habitat management company serving landowners across Florida and Alabama from 1800 North Century Boulevard in McDavid; the Florida Forest Service vendor register lists it as covering all 67 Florida counties. Owner Coy McKenna leads the company, and the about page says he spent more than 13 years in law enforcement before following his passion and growing what had been evening and weekend work for landowners into a full-time business. The company sets out a three-step approach: a free consultation to evaluate the land and the owner's goals, a customized management plan built around those goals, a timeline and a budget, then the work itself. For woodland owners the relevant offers are prescribed fire, drum chopping and forestry mulching. The mulching page explains that specialized machinery shreds thick brush, cedar and invasive saplings into a fine layer of ground cover, which keeps topsoil intact and removes the need for hauling or burn piles, and says the company uses it to help private landowners in the Southeast prepare land for future use, improve wildlife visibility and manage timberland health, as well as to take out ladder fuels and underbrush that carry wildfire, open overgrown trails for hunting, recreation or site development, and reclaim choked woodland as open habitat. Pond work fills more of the site than anything else: pond cleaning and weed removal, shoreline and bank repair, leaking ponds and damaged dams, sediment and muck removal to restore depth, water quality testing, aeration systems and decorative fountains, and control of hydrilla, coontail, giant salvinia, duckweed, alligator weed, cattails, pond grass and lily pads.

Listed with the Florida Forest Service as a forest management consultant across 67 Florida counties, with aerial and ground herbicide application, prescribed fire, planting services, a plant nursery and native seeding recorded on the register, and a Florida Certified Burner and Florida Licensed Commercial Pesticide Applicator against the name. On its own site the business presents three divisions, ecosystem restoration, environmental services and property management, and industrial support.

Listed with the Florida Forest Service as a forest management consultant across 67 Florida counties, offering silvicultural and agri-services, consulting, land and forest management, wildlife management and property management, with a Florida Certified Burner and a Florida Licensed Commercial Pesticide Applicator recorded against the name. The company's own site fills that in. It bills itself as "Ecofriendly Forestry and Agricultural Services" and states a mission "to help conserve our environment through projects that help to ensure the success of responsible land use and a healthy ecosystem". Its account of its beginning is that the firm "has been working toward restoring Florida to a healthy ecosystem since 2005", when owner Brannen Willis was given the job of restoring a Central Florida conservation area and more requests followed. The site lists a Herbicide Commercial Applicator License and Florida Prescribed Burn certification against Willis's name, and describes its aquatic applicators as certified and licensed by the State of Florida. The published service list is specific: site preparation, forestry mulching, roller drum chopping, land clearing, brush mulching and mowing, bush hogging, prescribed burning with fireline work and state burn permitting, reforestation, habitat and environmental restoration, aquatic management, licensed herbicide application, exotic species treatment, biomass harvesting, native planting, food plots, farm and forestry road building, and loader, dozer and discing work.

It also produces maps from GPS field data, including timber inventory and wetland delineation, and says private landowners can use its forest management plans to satisfy tax requirements.

Southern Habitats is a native plant nursery and habitat restoration contractor based at Greenville, listed with the Florida Forest Service as serving all sixty-seven Florida counties, though on its own site the only region it names is the Southeast generally. The services page puts the work plainly: 'We specialize in collecting and propagating southeastern herbaceous native plants and seeds. We use this material for projects involving groundcover restoration, wetland mitigation, erosion control, habitat improvement, aesthetic treatments and more.' The same page lists wild seed collection and processing, direct seeding, live plant installation, contract growing, bioengineering, native plant and seed sales, herbicide application, a licensed nursery, mowing and brush clearing, and wildlife food plots. Its stated speciality is fire-adapted ecosystems, and the sequence it describes is deliberate: restore the native grass base first, because grasses carry the fine fuel a thorough prescribed burn needs, then introduce wildflowers, forbs and legumes once the grass stand has taken. Seed is wild harvested from donor sites near the project, mechanically for the grass bulk and by hand for many wildflowers, then cleaned, tested and treated for dormancy before planting. The business says it grows hundreds of thousands of native grass and wildflower plugs in its nursery, keeps many species in field cultivation for seed production, and offers wild-collected and field-grown seed mixes for wet or dry sites, with published species lists for upland clayhills and sandhills, flatwoods and shallow wetlands. Separate pages address hunters managing quail, turkey, deer and dove ground, golf courses converting out-of-play areas, city and state parks, farmers working under EQIP and backyard gardeners, and the hunting page cites 25 years of experience managing groundcover for quail. Bare root switchgrass is described as its most versatile product. It is a member of the Florida Wildflower Seed and Plant Growers Association.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Martin County?
27 businesses are listed for Martin County: 22 consulting foresters and 5 buyers, loggers and mills. None of them has an office in the county; they register to work here and travel in.
How much is my timber worth in Martin County?
Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. UF/IFAS Florida Land Steward, summarising Timber Mart-South publishes a quarterly Timber Price Update, state-wide average pine stumpage in $/ton, with no hardwood series published, which tells you what the market is doing, not what your tract holds. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Martin County?
You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →Do I need a permit to cut timber in Florida?
Florida has no statewide permit and no notification to harvest timber on your own land. The forestry chapters of the state code govern the Forest Service and state-owned land, not a private harvest, and state law puts normal silviculture outside the environmental resource permit that otherwise covers work affecting wetlands and surface water. One filing is easy to mistake for a notification and is not one: the Notice of Intent to Implement is a single voluntary enrolment in the state's silviculture Best Management Practices, filed once rather than for each harvest, and what it buys is a legal presumption that the operation meets state water quality standards. Florida's BMPs sit between voluntary and mandatory — the manual is adopted by rule rather than published as advice, following it is elective until you enrol, and once enrolled a failure to implement is referred to the Department of Environmental Protection. Counties and cities are held back, but only conditionally: they may not regulate or charge a fee for a bona fide farm operation on land carrying the agricultural classification where the state's BMPs are being implemented. Miss any of those three and the local tree or land-clearing ordinance applies in full, so check with your county before work starts. Two things worth knowing before you sign: Florida does not license or register foresters, so a forester's credentials here are professional rather than statutory; and Florida's dealer bonding law, which lets a produce grower claim against a buyer's bond, expressly excludes timber and forest products, so your contract is the only protection you have against a buyer who does not pay.
Permit rules in Florida →What is timber worth in Martin County?
No price series is published for Martin County on its own. Florida's latest published stumpage figures (UF/IFAS Florida Land Steward (summarising Timber Mart-South), Q1 2026) put pine sawtimber at $29 per ton. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
