About Kiker Resource Management, LLC
Kiker Resource Management works out of Wadesboro, at the centre of a thirty-six county North Carolina territory that runs west to Cleveland and Gaston, north through Mecklenburg, Iredell, Durham and Granville, and east across the Sandhills to Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender. Its own site casts the practice wider still, describing work throughout the southeastern United States including Virginia and South Carolina, with a second office at Anderson, South Carolina. The home page sums the firm up as 'forest resource management, wildlife management consulting services, land sales', and it publishes service pages for timber sales, forest and land management, reforestation, prescribed burning, hunting leases, mapping and technical services, wildlife management consulting, forest certification and real estate. The forest and land management page says KRM starts every job by learning the landowner's objectives, whether that is long-term management of high-yield pine plantations, wildlife habitat improvement, a one-time harvest or outdoor recreation, then inventories species composition, stand origin, acreage, site quality and stocking before writing a plan carrying timber value estimates, harvest schedules and cash flow estimates. The reforestation page is the most detailed: KRM reforests an average of 2,500 acres a year for clients, buys about 1.5 million genetically improved seedlings annually, keeps an employee with the planting crews full time for quality control, and puts its herbicide and tree planting work out to bid each year. Its history page dates the practice to June 1978 under a predecessor name, Kiker Forestry and Realty, Inc., with the present LLC formed when Jason Kiker bought the firm in 2007, and counted ten full-time and two part-time employees in 2023, among them eight graduate foresters. The firm also holds an FSC group certificate and takes part in the American Tree Farm System. As described on kikerforestry.com, read 23 September 2026.

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? →

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? →
