Southern Timber Solutions
About Southern Timber Solutions
Southern Timber Solutions is a forestry consulting business in Monroe, Georgia, serving landowners in Walton County. It helps owners manage their timberland and plan for timber sales. It holds two certifications: Certified Prescribed Burner and membership in the Society of American Foresters. The work covers timber inventories and appraisals, timber cruises, GPS and GIS mapping, management plans, forest road improvement, rotary mowing, prescribed burning, herbicide application, and planting food plots. The trees it deals with include pulpwood, chip-n-saw, sawtimber, veneers, and poles. A sale runs in steps. The forester inventories the stand, marks the sale boundaries, and sends bid invitations to buyers in the area. Bids are sealed and opened on sale day. The forester then supplies the contract, and "the contract will protect you as a landowner." It sets out what is cut, how it is cut, the payment method, the logging practices, and the condition of the land afterward. The forester checks the harvest while it runs and inspects the site once logging is done. This suits a landowner who wants one consultant to handle the inventory, the bids, the contract, and the harvest checks, along with the land work such as burning and road repair.

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.
