Forestry Consultants

A forestry consultant (forester) works for YOU — not the buyer. They walk your land, estimate timber value, and negotiate on your behalf to maximize what you receive.

Meridian, MS

Goforth Forest Management, Inc. is a forestry consulting firm in Meridian, Mississippi, listed under the name Ricky G Goforth. Ricky, Jason and Ryan Goforth started the firm in 2001. Its main work is forest management consulting, and it also handles real estate. The firm offers "turn-key forest management services," along with timber sales. Its stated goal is to serve the landowner's best interests in all aspects of timber management. Between them, the partners have over 60 years of combined experience selling timber and managing timberland investments. Its listed county is Lauderdale, and the one timber sale on its pages is in Clarke County. The smallest job on those pages is a 120-acre tract the firm offers for sale by bid as agent for the Vise Family. That is the smallest job it has shown, not a minimum it sets for landowners. The sale came with maps, timber volumes and sale details. Anyone with questions, or who wants to see the property, can call the office at 601-693-2738. It suits a landowner who wants help with both the management of the land and the sale of its timber, and who is comparing firms for a tract about the size of the 120-acre sale on its pages.

Wiggins, MS

John Girard Guthrie is a forestry consulting and real estate business in Wiggins, Mississippi. It writes forest management plans "tailored especially to your property" and carries them out under long-term management agreements. It also sells, buys and exchanges rural and timberland property. Its listings have included tracts in Forrest, Harrison, Perry, Wayne, Stone and Neshoba counties, and Stone County is the county it names as its service area. The work covers forest inventory and appraisals, a timber inventory that lists every merchantable tree and its value, timber sales, reforestation, wildlife management, hunting leases, control burning and boundary line work. The one species named is loblolly pine. A timber sale runs in steps. Every tree is marked and measured, and an itemized prospectus goes to known timber buyers. The timber is sold by lump-sum sealed bid, with a performance bond required and the right kept to refuse any and all bids. After closing, the firm collects the proceeds, watches the cutting, makes a final inspection and checks BMP compliance. The firm says it has "over 100 years of combined experience" in forestry. Its team holds Mississippi registered forester licenses and real estate broker licenses, and one member also holds a state certified general license. They belong to the Association of Consulting Foresters, the Society of American Foresters and the Mississippi Forestry Association. The smallest tract on its listings is 35 acres, more or less, in Neshoba County. It suits a landowner with a loblolly stand ready to sell who wants a sealed-bid sale run by foresters, or one who wants a written management plan and land help from the same firm.

Meridian, MS

Pervy Covert Dean, working as Dean Forestry Services, is a forestry consulting partnership in Meridian, Mississippi. Covert Dean and his son Lance are both Mississippi Registered Foresters, and they work for the landowner, not a company. Their own line is "We do not buy timber," and they act only as your agent in selling it. Their work covers timber marketing through lump sum bid sales and negotiated sales, cruises and inventories, and appraisals, including estate work and timber that has been stolen or storm damaged. They also do forest management, forest inspections, and reforestation help. Pine plantation thinnings are their main negotiated sale. Covert has over 40 years of forestry experience, and Lance has over 20. Forest management has no annual fee. They are paid job by job, under a work order both parties sign. On a bid sale, they cruise the timber, estimate its value, and advertise it to timber buyers. Bids open on a set date and time, and you and all bidders may attend. They go over the results with you, check on the logging afterward, and are paid by commission at closing. On a negotiated thinning, they find a contractor, negotiate the price per ton, and handle a simple contract between you and the contractor. They traditionally work in Newton, Lauderdale, Scott, Jasper, Neshoba, Leake, Kemper, Smith and Clarke counties, though they are not limited to those. Covert is a member of the Newton County Forestry Association. Lance belongs to that group and the Neshoba County one, and he is an associate member of the USSVI. Pervy Covert Dean suits landowners who want a forester working for them, not a buyer, and who want bids opened with everyone invited to watch. From deanforestryservices.com, read 17 October 2026.

Ellisville, MS

James "Jim" Allen Walley works out of Ellisville, Mississippi, through Walley Forestry Consultants, Inc. The firm has provided full-service forestry management to private landowners in South Mississippi since 1978, which is more than 47 years. The work runs from pine plantation thinning and clear-cuts to site preparation, prescribed burning, tree planting and wildlife habitat. The species named is loblolly pine. Timber is sold by sealed bid. A detailed prospectus goes to more than 100 timber companies and buyers, and each sale typically draws 5 to 10 bidders, with the high bid often 20% to 50% or more above the low bid. Sealed bids are opened at an attorney's office in Ellisville. Timber deeds are drafted to protect the landowner, and the firm works with harvest crews so the job meets Mississippi Best Management Practices standards. They also help owners go after local, state and federal money toward site preparation and replanting. In their own words, the process is "transparent and client-focused." The smallest job shown is a listing of about 75 acres in Smith County, SM75, so that is the nearest guide to how small a tract they take on. Jones County is the county they list as served. The principal holds Registered Forester and Nationally Certified Forester credentials, is a Mississippi and Alabama real estate broker, a general appraiser, and an FAA certified drone pilot. Walley Properties, LLC shares the office and brokers land across Mississippi and Southeast Alabama. It suits a South Mississippi owner who wants timber sold by sealed bid and may also need an appraisal or help selling land from the same office. From walleyproperties.com, read 17 October 2026.

Pelahatchie, MS

Gene A Sirmon runs Sirmon Forestry & Real Estate, LLC from 103 South Brooks Street in Pelahatchie, Mississippi. The firm has served landowners since 1994 and serves Rankin County. It handles timber sales, plantation thinning, reforestation, land sales, and real estate appraisal. A timber sale starts with a thorough examination of the property, and the initial inspection is "always FREE." The firm marks each sawtimber tree to be sold, works out volumes and values, and mails a prospectus to its bidders, who get 15 to 20 days to submit bids. The firm prepares the contract. Once both parties sign it and have it notarized, the seller is paid before any timber is harvested. The firm stays on the sale area to make sure the buyer meets the contract, holds a pre-work conference with loggers, and supervises the cutting to completion. After a regeneration harvest, the firm can coordinate site preparation, planting, and herbicide work until the new stand is established. It also helps landowners qualify for federal and state cost-sharing programs. For thinning, it helps set the timing and procedures, then provides a thinning crew. The firm lists Registered Forester, Licensed Real Estate Broker, and Certified General Appraiser credentials, and it is a member of the American Association of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. Its appraisals follow the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices. This suits a landowner who wants the timber marked, bid out, and watched through the cut, and who may also want an appraisal or help replanting. From sirmonandassociates.net, read 17 October 2026.

Butler, AL

John L Graham is an appraisal business in Butler, Mississippi, serving Butler and Choctaw County. The owner holds the Certified General Real Property Appraiser credential and says the goal is "dependable and accurate appraisals," the kind banks and major lenders require. The owner also says there are years of experience behind the work. Timber appraisal is the only forestry service on the list. The others are land, residential and commercial appraisal, estate appraisal, estate planning and employee relocation. This is a valuation service. It suits a landowner who needs a number for standing timber and land, whether for a sale, a settlement or an estate, rather than a logging or buying arrangement. The owner describes a mix of phone, e-mail and an online portal that is open 24/7 for placing orders, checking status and downloading completed reports. The business promises "personalized customer service," and says its investment in technology means fast turn times. It is a good fit for a landowner who wants a certified appraiser's value on timber and land and prefers to handle the work by phone, e-mail or online.

Find forestry consultants near your land

That's the first 100 of 335 in Mississippi. The best match is usually the one closest to your land, so pick the county your timber is in. You'll see everyone who works there.

Questions landowners ask

How many forestry consultants are there in Mississippi?

335 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Mississippi Board of Registration for Foresters consulting forester roster, the Forest Products Network (SREF) mill directory and the Mississippi Forestry Commission forestry vendors directory, covering 82 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.
