Opelousas is in St. Landry County, and consulting foresters register by county rather than by town. These 1 are on the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Office of Forestry official Consulting Foresters of Louisiana list, together with the Forestry Products Network mill directory for this county. Unlike a timber buyer, a forester works for you — but check where they're based: some will happily travel across the state, and some are a long way from your land.
Acadian Forestry Consulting, LLC is a forestry consulting firm based in Morrow, Louisiana, and it works in St. Landry. Its work runs from timber cruising, which measures the trees on your land, to forest management plans and the financial analysis that goes with them. Other services include timber marking, damage appraisals after trespass or storms, boundary line maintenance, GPS and GIS mapping, forest monitoring for owners who live away, tree planting, and help choosing state or federal incentive programs. The first visit to your property is free. When you are ready to sell, the firm can run a bid that draws several buyers, and the highest bidder signs a timber sale contract. You choose whether the contract is paid as a lump sum up front or "pay-as-cut." The firm can also hire a logging contractor directly, and you are paid weekly once the wood is hauled to the mill and the settlements come in. A management commission covers the trips to the property, the inventory and marking, the bids and contracts, and oversight of the loggers. The owner, Ryan Manuel, has a forestry degree from LSU and an MBA from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and has worked as a forester for over 10 years. He has just recently gained his license as a Louisiana real estate salesperson. The team has over 40 years combined experience in the timber industry. This suits a landowner who wants one firm to handle the cruise, the sale and the paperwork, and who may also want help with boundaries or monitoring. From acadianforestry.com, read 18 October 2026.
