Forest Resource Consultants
About Forest Resource Consultants
Forest Resource Consultants is a forestry consulting firm in Macon, Georgia, and it has been working with landowners since 1970. Its certified foresters handle forest management plans, timber harvesting, reforestation, wildlife habitat management, and prescribed burns. The firm also does timber valuation, buying, selling, and exchanging timberland, and hunting lease administration. It lists Bibb County and describes its work as across the Southeast. The stated minimum is 50 acres. The firm says it builds a "tailored strategy" for each property, and it says timber value depends on the size of the timbered area, access, topography, and local mill demand. Its listed credentials are Certified Forester and Certified Real Estate Appraiser, along with membership in the Association of Consulting Foresters and the Society of American Foresters. On selling timber, the firm explains the two common routes. A lump sum pays you up front for all the timber in the sale. Pay-as-cut pays you as trees come out, based on volume and product type. It warns that poor product sorting, such as chip-n-saw sold as pulpwood, can leave money on the table. This firm suits owners of at least 50 acres who want help choosing how to sell, working out what their timber is worth, or handling an estate, appraisal, or hunting lease on their land.

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.
