Turner Forestry
About Turner Forestry
Turner Forestry is a forestry consulting firm based in Upland, Indiana. Foresters there manage Indiana forestland for private landowners, and they serve Grant County. The work covers tree planting, timber sales, timber stand improvement, management plans, controlled burning, and prescribed burning. So this isn't just a timber sale outfit. If you want a management plan written up, or your stand improved before you ever sell a log, or some controlled burning done, that's within what they take on. Stewart Turner holds the title "Consultant Forester." There's no minimum tract size stated, and no species are named on their pages, so it's worth a call to see if your acreage and your trees are a fit. This suits a landowner in or near Grant County, Indiana who wants a consulting forester to handle more than a single timber sale, someone thinking about longer-term management, planting, or burning work alongside or instead of a harvest.

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.
