About Forestry Services, Inc.
Forestry Services, Inc. is a forestry consulting firm in Cary, South Carolina. Its own line is "Helping landowners reach their goals since 1983." Mike Perry founded the firm and is still its president. The work starts with the stand. Through analysis of timber stands and client objectives, the firm writes land management plans, usually covering 10 years or more. It can also run a forest inventory that lists volume by species, diameter class, and price per unit for each product class, which is used for timber and land sales, estate valuations, and divisions. The range of work is wide. The firm supervises pine thinnings at several stand ages, marks trees for commercial thinning, and manages hardwood stands with thinning and prescribed burning. It handles reforestation with site preparation and planting contractors, including cost share applications. It also does Tree Farm certification and inspections, wildlife management, and hunting leases with liability insurance for owners who want an annual income. Pine straw sales are managed too. The register entry adds timber appraisal, damage and trespass appraisals, forest litigation, expert witness work, and GPS mapping. The species named are pine, hardwood, and pine straw. Mike Perry holds North Carolina Registered Forester #610 and South Carolina Registered Forester #1606. He is also a certified burner, a licensed ground pesticide applicator, and an American Tree Farm System Qualified Inspector. Ben Maness, a consulting forester, holds a Bachelor of Science in Forest Management from North Carolina State University, 2021. Mike started Arborland Realty, LLC in 2003, and the firm handles land realty as well. This suits an owner who wants a written plan, timber sales, and burning or wildlife work handled by one firm.
