About Natives of Corkscrew Nursery and Environmental
Natives of Corkscrew Nursery + Environmental is a native-plant nursery and environmental contractor in Lee County, listed here from the Florida Forest Service vendor database, where it appears among forest management consultants across fourteen Florida counties. Its own site describes two halves to the business. On the nursery side it says that since 2015 it has grown to be one of the largest all-native nurseries in Florida, specializing in native plants, grasses, shrubs and trees, and in locally grown trees, shrubs and flowers — especially flowers that attract butterflies, which it notes are chosen deliberately to bring pollinators into an outdoor space. Its published nursery services are an extensive native species inventory, expert knowledge of Florida native plants, help selecting species for a landscape project, prompt statewide delivery, and contract growing, which the site explains lets a project's plant needs be fulfilled to specification and on budget when planned ahead. The environmental half offers environmental preserve restoration, with a stated specialty in lake restoration, lake enhancement, littoral shelf maintenance and protected species management; gopher tortoise work is named as the primary focus, and relocating gopher tortoises as one of its specialties. Its environmental services list covers FDEP wetland and upland determinations, exotic vegetation removal and maintenance, preserve and lake monitoring, gopher tortoise and burrowing owl surveys with FWC permitting, and licensed mangrove trimming. The company states it is licensed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to perform burrowing owl permitting, and that it serves individuals, businesses, organizations and government agencies. The nursery keeps posted hours Tuesday through Saturday, Monday by appointment. As described on nativesofcorkscrew.com, read 23 September 2026.
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.
