About Adams, Justin
Adams, Justin runs Honey Creek Forestry from Sumner, Illinois. It is a forestry consulting business that also buys timber. The office is at 6806 Bethany Lane, Sumner, IL 62466, and the phone number is 1-618-553-6374. Justin started the business in 2007 by writing forest management plans while he was still in college. He earned his forestry degree from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, with a specialization in Resource Management, and he says he learned the real world of forestry from then IL DNR District Forester Clint Patterson. Since then he has taken on more parts of forest management. He says his love for the woods keeps him motivated to do "the work I love," and he does it full-time. The work covers timber stand improvement, forest management plans, timber sales, and timber tax planning. The business serves timber landowners in Southeast Illinois and Southwest Indiana, and it works in Lawrence County. Suits timber owners in Southeast Illinois or Southwest Indiana who want a written forest plan, help with a timber sale, or tax planning for their woods.

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.
