WILLIS & SUIRE FORESTRY CONSULTANTS
About WILLIS & SUIRE FORESTRY CONSULTANTS
Willis & Suire Forestry Consultants is a forestry, land, and wildlife consulting firm in South Central Louisiana, with its office on Saint Anthony Avenue in Opelousas. Founded in 2005, the firm says it manages over 225,000 acres of timberland throughout the state of Louisiana. The work covers forest products sales, timber cruises and estimates, appraisals, boundary line establishment and maintenance, and litigation. Clients include private landowners, estates, public entities, and utility companies. The county they serve is St. Landry. Daniel Suire is the forester behind the firm. He is a second generation forester with 22 years in the field. He belongs to the Louisiana Forestry Associations, the Society of American Foresters, the Association of Consulting Foresters, and the Southern Hardwood Forestry Group. He is also a real estate agent with Louisiana Outdoor Properties. The firm puts it plainly: "We work for you." This suits a landowner who wants one consulting forester to handle timber sales, cruising, boundary lines, and appraisals, and who does not mind dealing with a forester who also sells land.

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? →
