Southeast Forestlands, LLC
About Southeast Forestlands, LLC
Southeast Forestlands, LLC is a consulting forestry firm based in Meridian, Mississippi. It works for private landowners across Mississippi and western Alabama. The firm works for the landowner, not the mill, the logger or the timber buyer, and says it does not buy timber or log it. Its timber work covers inventory and contract cruising, appraisals, and sealed-bid sales with a written contract and harvest oversight. A sale runs in order: inventory and valuation, sealed-bid marketing to qualified buyers, the contract, harvest oversight, then payment and closeout. The firm also handles management plans, timber stand improvement, reforestation, prescribed burning, herbicide application, aerial drone photography, USDA cost-share programs, tree farm certification, and brokered land sales through Crew Land Company. It names pine sawtimber and hardwood grade as its species. Among the counties it works in are Lauderdale, Jones, Clarke, Jasper, Newton and Neshoba. The smallest sale the firm shows is about 40 acres, a Kemper County timber sale that drew nine sealed bids. The owner, Eric Entrekin, is a Registered Forester in Mississippi and Alabama (#2175). He is also a Mississippi real estate sales agent, an FAA UAS remote pilot, and holds USDA Technical Service Provider number 20-23350. The firm describes its history as "Three decades of cruises, sales, and management plans." This suits a landowner who wants sealed bids from several buyers and a registered forester who works for the seller, whether for a first sale or a long-term plan.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
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? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
