MUSLOW FORESTRY, INC
About MUSLOW FORESTRY, INC
MUSLOW FORESTRY, INC is a consulting forestry firm in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was established by Stephen E. Muslow in 1978 and has three graduate foresters on staff. The firm works with landowners in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and lists Bossier among the counties it serves. The work runs from timber sales through replanting. The firm marks timber, cruises and estimates it, and does appraisals, boundary line work, timber stand improvement, and tree planting. On a sale, the firm is "employed by the landowner and not the timber purchaser," and its fee is a percentage of the total timber sale value. Most sales are advertised, with bid invitations sent to wood-using facilities and logging contractors in the area. The owner can reject any and all bids. For first thinning sales, the firm recommends a pay-as-cut basis. After a harvest, it inspects the site, hires and oversees the planting vendors, requires them to carry proof of insurance, and applies for state or federal cost share funds. It says it has planted more than 1,500,000 pine seedlings per year over the past several years. The species it handles include pine, hardwood, and pine pulpwood. This firm suits an owner of pine or hardwood timber who wants a forester working only for the owner, from the sale through the replanting that follows. From muslowforestry.com, read 18 October 2026.
