Thompson Forestry is a consulting forestry business run by Michael Thompson out of Lexington, Kentucky, serving Fayette County. This isn't a logging outfit, it's someone who works for you as the landowner before any logger or mill gets involved. The work covers timber sales, timber appraisals, management plans, and timber stand improvement. For a sale, he measures and grades your timber, markets it to loggers, sawmills, and veneer mills, writes up the timber sale contract, and does logging inspections. Trees get handled one of two ways: a marked sale, where trees are painted at head high and on the stump, or a cruise sale, based on a stump diameter inventory. Either way the idea is that only what was counted gets cut. He describes the contracts as "in depth and seller friendly," which matters if you've never sold timber before and don't want to get outmaneuvered on paper. He holds a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Kentucky (2007), an A.S. in Science from BCTCS (2004), belongs to the Society of American Foresters, and carries the ACF certification. He's been doing this consulting work for over 11 years. This suits a landowner in Fayette County who wants a forester in their corner first, someone to appraise, write the contract, and inspect the logging, rather than going straight to a buyer.

Barnwell Forestry is a forestry consulting business based in Louisville, Kentucky. They help landowners sell timber, plan for the future of their woodland, and deal with problems like invasive plants or timber trespass. Mike Silliman leads the company, with over 25 years managing forestland across Kentucky and the Southern Appalachians. The team includes Certified Foresters through the Association of Consulting Foresters and Certified Arborists through the International Society of Arboriculture, along with licensed pesticide applicators. They work in Jefferson County and describe their reach as managing forestland across Kentucky and the Southern Appalachians, with past work named in Grayson Co KY. A timber sale with them runs through several stages: a timber cruise to inventory species and volume, individual tree marking before harvest, competitive bidding among buyers, a written contract, site visits during logging to check the logger is following the contract, and a final post-harvest plan. They also handle forest management plans, timber basis and appraisals, invasive species work (Bush Honeysuckle, Autumn Olive, Tree of Heaven), prescribed fire for oak-hickory stands, and timber trespass cases. Species mentioned include Oak-Hickory, Maple-Beech, and high-value hardwoods. Their own words: they aim at "accurately valuing your timber before any cutting begins" and to "help you receive full, fair market value for your timber." This fits a landowner in or near Jefferson County who wants someone to run the whole sale process, not just name a buyer, and who may also have invasive plants, a trespass dispute, or an estate appraisal to sort out.

D & M Forestry is a consulting forestry business based in Winchester, Kentucky, run by Dick Brantigan. He works as a professional forester and licensed professional logging engineer with over 30 years in the field, and serves Clark County as well as the rest of Kentucky and its border states. The work covers the whole arc of a timber sale: cruising, grading, and appraising standing timber, marking the sale boundary and the trees themselves, advertising the sale, writing up the contract, holding the bid opening, and then inspecting the harvest to make sure the logger does right by the land. He also handles forest engineering jobs like woods road design, directional felling help, and wire rope splicing, plus timber trespass and damage appraisals and tax basis work. Species named include Stave White Oak, Chestnut Oak, Red Oak, and Yellow Poplar. Sale services are usually done on commission, running 6% to 12% of the gross sale price, with the exact figure depending on what's asked for. His credentials include being a level four certified timber cutter and a continuing education instructor for the Kentucky Master Logging Program. His own words sum up the approach: "Practicing good forestry to provide today's products and healthy trees tomorrow." He also points to over 30 years of "hands on" experience planning and operating logging equipment. This fits a landowner in or near Clark County who wants someone to run the whole timber sale process, from marking trees to collecting bids, rather than handling it alone.

Danville, KY
ConsultantForest Management PlanningTimber AppraisalsTimber Sale AdministrationGIS & Mapping+1 more

Central Kentucky Forest Management, Inc. is a forestry consulting business in Danville, Kentucky. They handle timber appraisals, forest management planning, and timber sale administration for private forest landowners, and they've been doing it since 1999. Their work covers the full range of what a landowner might need before, during, or after a timber sale: writing forest management plans, running GIS and mapping, doing assessments and consultations, and planning silvicultural systems. If timber's ever been taken off your land without notice, they also do timber trespass work, including appraisals of stolen timber and expert witness testimony. They describe their role in a sale plainly: they "represent you, the landowner, to protect your interests and ensure your timber is marked, sold, and harvested professionally and sustainably." The business lists Boyle County as where it works, with the broader claim of serving Kentucky forest owners generally. The founder, Chris Will, is a certified forester (ACF) and also works as an NRCS Technical Service Provider, which matters if you want a plan that meets NRCS standards. No species or minimum tract size are named anywhere in what they publish, so there's nothing to go on there. This fits a landowner in or near Boyle County who wants someone handling the whole sale process on their behalf, from appraisal through harvest, rather than just getting a one-time number on their timber.

Sourwood Forestry Consulting is a forestry consulting business based in Berea, Kentucky. The business is run by Scott Shouse, ACF, who has more than 25 years experience in forestry and holds a B.S. and an M.Sc. in forestry from the University of Kentucky. He is a full member of the Association of Consulting Foresters (ACF) and the Society of American Foresters. The work covers "basic inventory to custom data analysis tools," so this is a consultant you'd bring in for planning and numbers on your land, not just a timber sale handshake. Services named include basic inventory and custom data analysis tools. Sourwood Forestry Consulting serves Madison County. If you're a landowner in Madison County who wants a clear picture of what's standing on your acres before you decide anything, or who wants data and analysis rather than just a quick cruise and a handshake, this is the kind of consultant to call. Someone further off or looking only for a straightforward logging crew to come harvest and haul may want to look elsewhere, since the work here leans toward inventory and analysis with a single named forester behind it.

Cox Forestry Consulting is a one-person forestry consulting business run by David M Cox, out of Louisville, Kentucky. David works as an independent forester, and he says his priority is "to help forest landowners meet their goals through sound forest management techniques." He serves Jefferson County, with his broader service area given as Kentucky and Indiana. The work covers the full range a landowner might need: timber management plans, timber inventory, timber marking, timber marketing, timber sale administration, timber tax assistance, timber appraisals, property boundary marking and survey and mapping, timber stand improvement, and tree plantings. He also handles timber buying alongside his consulting work. He holds the ACF credential (Association of Consulting Foresters) and has a Bachelor of Applied Science in Forestry from the University of Kentucky. He notes that he works "solely with private landowners" and is not employed by government or by any wood-using industry, which matters if you want someone whose only client is you. His timber sale listings show active and recently sold jobs, including the Galligan Family Farm Timber Sale and the Brown Timber Sale, alongside completed sales like the Whelan and Schaftlein jobs, each run with a posted bid sheet. This fits a Jefferson County landowner who wants one forester handling everything from the first walk of the woods through the sale itself, and who wants someone who says plainly he answers to the landowner and no one else.

Fall Line Consultants, also doing business as Fall Line Forestry, works out of Roswell. They are forestry consultants who also buy timber, and they have served landowners since 1986. They handle timber appraisals, timber cruising, forest management plans, timber sale layout and marketing, contract administration and supervision, selective timber marking, timber trespass and damage assessments, site prep and tree planting, prescribed burning, pre-development and spot timber sales, and hunting leases. They work with pine, hardwood, loblolly pine, and longleaf pine, and they are also licensed real estate brokers for timberland sales and purchases. Their foresters are registered in Georgia and Alabama. Their process for a timber sale runs in steps: they measure and value what you have, they spell out exactly how you want the timber harvested, down to road building and cleanup after logging, then they solicit sealed, lump-sum bids from multiple buyers so you're paid in full before cutting starts. Once you accept an offer, they close with a written contract and supervise the harvest start to finish. As they put it, "you stay in control of your land." No stated minimum acreage turned up, but the smallest job described on their site was a selective timber harvest on a 905 acre property north of Atlanta. They cover Georgia and name Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Virginia, with Atlanta Metro and North Georgia called out as a specialty. This fits a landowner with a larger tract in the Southeast who wants the whole sale process, from appraisal through sealed bids to supervised harvest, handled by one outfit.

Lawrenceburg, KY
Consultant

Forest Synergy, LLC is listed as a forestry consultant serving Anderson County, Kentucky, out of Lawrenceburg. In its own words, the business says its "mission has evolved from a forest management company to a focus on wildfire prevention." The man behind it, Jim Funk, is a forest management graduate from the University of Missouri, class of 1970, and he spent 33 years with the Kentucky Division of Forestry before this shift. He now lives in Locust Grove, Virginia, and that is the address the business lists for itself. As part of the wildfire prevention work, Forest Synergy is a "licensed Smokey Bear vendor" and sells a Smokey Bear Walking Stick Medallion that has gone out to buyers in 45 states. Jim also wrote a book called Student ICS, which takes Incident Command System principles and applies them for young students. On top of that, the business sells stained glass pieces made locally. This is not a company built around running timber sales today. There's no mention of harvests, species, or acreage on its current pages, just the wildfire prevention products, the book, and the glass work. A landowner in Anderson County who wants Smokey Bear materials, is curious about Jim's long background in Kentucky forestry, or wants a stained glass piece might find this useful. Someone looking to line up a timber sale on their own land should keep that in mind before calling. From forestsynergy.com, read 4 October 2026.

Panther Creek Forestry, LLC is a forestry consulting firm based in McMinnville, Kentucky. They work with landowners across Tennessee, northern Georgia, and northern Alabama, helping with everything from timber sales to wildlife habitat. Their main work is forest management planning, timber sales, and forest stand improvement. That covers things like Greenbelt forest management plans, estate planning, timber stand improvement, reforestation, prescribed burning, and control of exotics like privet, Callery pear, and autumn olive. They also handle forest pests such as the Emerald Ash Borer and Southern Pine Beetle, and work with hardwoods, pines, and walnut, among other species. On a timber sale, a forester works with you first to pin down your goals, then runs an inventory targeting "90-95% confidence in reported volumes," checks boundaries, roads, terrain, and access, and solicits bids from buyers they know. Once a bid is accepted, they do regular harvest checks for compliance, and a buyer's performance deposit isn't released until a final inspection passes. They require that buyers be insured, in good standing, and following best management practices. They serve landowners across Tennessee, northern Georgia, and northern Alabama, and the minimum acreage they state is 50 acres, with projects running up to 5,000+ acres. Credentials include membership in the Society of American Foresters, American Tree Farm System Qualified Inspector status, work as a technical service provider for USDA's NRCS, prescribed burn certification, and a Tennessee Pesticide Charter. Panther Creek Forestry was founded in 2002 and became a full-service consulting firm in 2008. This fits a landowner with a sizable tract, 50 acres or more, who wants a consultant to run the whole timber sale process end to end rather than just get a quote from a logger.

RL Taylor Forestry Consulting is run by Ron Taylor out of Rineville, Kentucky, and serves Rowan County. It's a one-person consulting forestry practice, not a logging crew, so the work is advice, planning, and sale administration rather than cutting trees yourself. The services cover timber cruising and appraisal, woodland management planning, timber sale administration from layout and marking through advertisement and contract closure, timber trespass resolution, carbon credit inventories, theft and damage appraisals, expert witness testimony, and help with forestland and wood certification. Ron Taylor has been a consulting forester since 2008, with much longer work history before that in forestry, and has worked across eight states. He is a Certified Forester with the Society of American Foresters, an American Tree Farm Inspector, and a cooperating forester with the Center of Forest & Wood Certification. On how a sale runs, the business leans on "Competitive Bidding" to get more than one buyer looking at your timber, and stresses that "Landowner Objectives are Important," whether that means a fair price, a healthy woodlot for the future, or trees left standing for wildlife. He also talks through access, roads, and stream protection as things that affect what your timber is worth before a sale ever goes out for bid. This fits a landowner in or near Rowan County who wants someone to manage the sale process end to end, rather than just mark trees and walk away, and who wants a consultant with decades of hands-on forestry background behind the advice.

Indiana Timber Buyers is a timber buying and forestry consulting outfit based in Carroll County, Kentucky. Dan Schwering started the company to walk landowners through selling timber and managing their stands. The work covers standing timber sales, timber management plans, and free evaluations. They buy hardwood species including Ash, Poplar, Red Oak, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Hickory, Walnut, and White Oak, and say they "specialize in Walnut and White Oak with an emphasis on high quality veneer trees." They cover the state of Indiana, "from the northern reaches to the southern tip." They typically want 5 acres of timber or more before a sale pencils out, since that's what it takes "to justify the cost of moving equipment." They note exceptions can apply if a property has a few large, clear walnut or white oak trees. If your timber isn't ready to harvest, they say they'll tell you that plainly rather than push a sale. When it is ready, they put together a timber management plan laying out value and harvest details, and they offer a variety of payment options. This fits a landowner in Indiana with at least a handful of acres, especially one with good walnut or white oak, who wants a timber management plan laid out before committing to a harvest.

Questions landowners ask

How many forestry consultants are there in Kentucky?

67 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Kentucky forestry register, covering 3 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
