Appalachian Forestry
This firm's office is in Johnson City, TN, outside North Carolina. It appears here because the North Carolina forestry register lists it as working 24 North Carolina counties. Worth asking how far they'll travel for a tract your size.
About Appalachian Forestry
Based over the line in Johnson City, Tennessee, and covering twenty-four counties in the North Carolina mountains — Cherokee, Clay and Graham in the far southwest, up through Buncombe and Madison to Ashe and Alleghany. The register lists five services and no more: management plans, timber appraisal, cruising, sale administration and logging engineering. That is a timber sale specialist's list, and logging engineering earns its place on steep ground. Nothing else is offered, so anything beyond the sale would need another firm.
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? →
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? →
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? →
runs the sale and handles the contract
