About Steward Link
Steward Link is a forestry and conservation business in Winona, Mississippi, at 36 Highway 82. Its main work is connecting landowners with conservation funding, and it also runs forestry services for people who own timber. It has been at this for more than 10 years. "Your timber is a long game," as the business puts it. For timber, the work covers forest management plans, timber inventory and appraisal, contract cruising, and timber sales. The sales are described as conservation-focused, meant to balance income, forest health and future productivity. Other services include prescribed burning, site preparation, firebreaks, timber stand improvement, release treatments, mid-rotation management, wildlife habitat improvement, and timber damage and loss reports. Forestry mulching, dirt work and drone herbicide application also come up. The business does not name the tree species it works with. A job usually starts with a talk about your goals, your property's history and your priorities. The forestry team then visits the site, maps it and collects data, and builds a plan, valuation or report. Funding and implementation can follow from there. The funding work is success based. If your funding isn't approved, you don't pay. The business says its team lives and works in the regions it serves, and it names Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama among them. Bailey Simpson, who leads its forestry services, holds a Forestry and Wildlife Management degree from Mississippi State University and is a Registered Forester in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama. It suits owners who want timber work tied to conservation funding, with a plan written around their goals. From stewardlink.com, read 18 October 2026.
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.
