Timber Buyers & Forestry Professionals in Cloverdale, IN

Allen Royer Forestry & Wildlife Consulting is a family forestry and wildlife business in Greencastle, Indiana, listed as a consulting forester. Allen and Peggy Royer started it in 2019, after Allen's 44 year career with Indiana DNR. Allen holds a forestry degree from Purdue, and their son Brad has joined the team, which now has three people. Timber marking is the core of the work. The forester walks the stand and marks each tree to be cut with paint at eye level and on the stump. Each marked tree is recorded by species and measurements, which gives a board-foot tally and estimated value before any equipment enters the woods. Timber appraisals start with what the business calls "boots on the ground" fieldwork, using sample plots, sawlog and pulpwood grades, and current stumpage prices. An appraisal can be paired with marking to help Indiana landowners with tax relief. The business also offers land management plans with a 10-year strategy, boundary marking, help with cost-share paperwork, prescribed fire, food plots, invasive species control, tree planting, timber stand improvement, and wildlife habitat work. It works across Indiana, and Putnam County is one of the counties it serves. Allen Royer suits a landowner who wants timber marked and valued by a forester before any sale, and who may also want habitat or planting work done on the same land.

Wilson's Woodland Consulting Inc. is a forestry consulting firm in Cloverdale, Indiana. Brad Wilson founded it in 2010 "out of a pure passion for forestry," and it works with landowners across west central Indiana. The firm does forest evaluations, timber marking, timber sales, forest inventories, management plans and forest health prescriptions. Brad spent seven years as a timber buyer for R Booe and Son Hardwoods Inc. before starting the company. Steven Wilson, one of the consulting foresters, graduated from Purdue University in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in forestry. He is an active member of Purdue's Society of American Foresters. Before joining the firm in early 2022, he worked as a forestry field technician for Gregg Forest Services and in tree care for Davey Tree Experts in Indianapolis. The firm works in Putnam, Parke, Clay, Vigo, Owen, Greene, Morgan, Hendricks and Montgomery counties. Careful marking and a sustainable harvest can come as often as every 10 to 15 years, which keeps income coming and the stand growing healthier. Wilson's Woodland Consulting suits a landowner in one of those nine counties who wants a consulting forester to mark the timber, run the sale and plan the stand for harvests years down the road.
