About Crawford Forest Management, LLC
Crawford Forest Management is a consulting forestry firm based in Wilmington that works with private landowners across southeastern North Carolina, naming Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Duplin, New Hanover, Pender and Sampson counties on its own site, while the state register carries it for Alamance, Caswell, Onslow and Robeson as well. The firm is owned and operated by Noah Crawford, a registered consulting forester with more than five years in the industry who previously worked for an established consulting forestry firm where he actively managed over 20,000 acres of timberland. He holds a Master of Forestry from North Carolina State University and a bachelor of science in environmental science with a minor in economics from UNC Wilmington, a combination the firm says lets it speak to land economics as well as silviculture. The published services run from full timber sale management, covering cruising, marketing, bid solicitation and contract oversight, through forest management planning, timber inventory and appraisal, reforestation and site preparation, long-term landowner and harvest-schedule consulting, help enrolling in federal and state cost-share programs, boundary identification and mapping, and Tree Farm certification support.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.

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? →
