Growing Assets, LLC is a forestry consulting firm in Tuscumbia, Tennessee. They work for the landowner, not the buyer, handling everything from timber sales to land management across Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Their work covers timber appraisals and sales, reforestation, mapping, boundary and road access, management plans, hunting lease administration, and even legal conflict resolution or expert witness work. On the association side, they also offer greenbelt tax plans, forest inventory, prescribed burning, cost share help, and Tree Farm certification. They deal in pine and oak. When you sell timber through them, they map and cruise the property, help you set a minimum acceptable price, then run either a sealed bid sale or a negotiated sale depending on the market. They say "we represent landowners as their sole and exclusive agent," and once a harvest starts they make "periodic visits to the site to make sure contract provisions are being met" before releasing the buyer's performance bond. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job shown on their site is a 67-acre tract called Sandy Branch, already sold. The firm traces back to 1954, when Charles Tomlinson started a forestry consulting business in northwest Alabama, and Growing Assets carries that history forward today. This one suits a landowner who wants a single firm to run the whole sale process, from appraisal through contract to final inspection, rather than piecing it together themselves.

Panther Creek Forestry, LLC is a forestry consulting firm based in McMinnville, Tennessee. They work with landowners across Tennessee, northern Georgia, and northern Alabama, helping with everything from planning a timber sale to improving wildlife habitat on the property. They take on the full range of forestry work: management plans, Greenbelt tax plans, forest inventory and appraisal, timber sales, reforestation and tree planting, prescribed burning, and control of exotic species like privet, autumn olive, and Callery pear. They also handle forest pest issues such as Emerald Ash Borer and Southern Pine Beetle, and work with hardwoods, pines, and walnut among other species. For a timber sale, they inspect the property, inventory the timber to a 90-95% confidence level, then solicit bids from buyers they know to be insured and in good standing, checking the harvest as it goes and holding a performance deposit until a final inspection passes. They say landowners should "schedule your free consult" before anything else, and their own description of the work is to help "making your forest work for you." The firm has been going since 2002, became a full-service consulting operation in 2008, and its foresters carry credentials with the Society of American Foresters, the American Tree Farm System, and the USDA's NRCS program, along with a Tennessee pesticide charter and prescribed burn certification. Panther Creek Forestry says it works with property from 50 acres up to 5,000 or more, so that's their stated minimum. They're listed as serving Warren County, with ties to the University of the South in Sewanee. This one suits a landowner with a sizeable tract, 50 acres or more, who wants one firm to handle the whole picture: the timber sale itself plus the planning, mapping, and habitat work around it.

Tennessee Timber Consultants, LLC is a forestry consulting firm based in Jackson, Tennessee, founded in 2001. They work statewide, with a strong presence in West Tennessee, helping woodland owners manage, sell, and improve their timber. They handle the full range of forest work: management plans, greenbelt tax plans, timber sales, inventories and appraisals, reforestation, prescribed burning, cost share applications, Tree Farm certification, and wildlife or recreation planning. On the timber sale side they work with species like red oak, white oak, cherrybark oak, hickory, ash, poplar, cypress, and pine. They describe their process this way: "we begin by prescribing a harvest method that corresponds with the needs of your forest and meets your ownership goals," then walk you through a step-by-step sale designed, in their words, to "maximize your income and protect your land." Their past sales have ranged widely in size, from small tracts up to properties of several hundred acres. The smallest finished sale they show is an 11.5 acre tract in Henderson County, so that gives a sense of how small a job they'll take on, though it's not a stated minimum. They're affiliated with Tutt Land Company for real estate work, and they hold credentials through the Association of Consulting Foresters, the Society of American Foresters, and the Tennessee Forestry Association. One of their people also holds a real estate license. The register lists their work in Madison County and notes their association with the University of Tennessee. This fits a landowner who wants someone to run the whole sale for them, from appraisal through marked timber to closing, rather than just getting a quick buyer referral.

Panther Creek Forestry, LLC is a forestry consulting firm based in McMinnville, Tennessee, serving landowners in Cannon County and across Tennessee, northern Georgia, and northern Alabama. They handle the full run of forest work: management plans, Greenbelt tax plans, timber sales, inventory and appraisal, reforestation, prescribed burning, cost share applications, Tree Farm certification, and wildlife or recreation management. They also deal with exotic and invasive species like privet and Callery pear, and pests such as Emerald Ash Borer and Southern Pine Beetle, working with hardwoods, pines, and walnut among others. For a timber sale, a forester first helps you work out your goals, even if a sale isn't the right answer. If it is, they inventory the timber to a 90-95% confidence level, check your boundaries, roads, and access, then solicit bids from qualified buyers. They require that buyers be fully insured and follow best management practices, and they hold a deposit back until a final inspection passes. Sales can run lump-sum or pay-as-cut. Their credentials include membership in the Society of American Foresters, status as an American Tree Farm System Qualified Inspector, work as a technical service provider for the USDA's NRCS, prescribed burn certification, and a Tennessee Pesticide Charter. Benjamin Myers founded the firm in 2002, and it became a full-service consulting operation in 2008. They state they work with properties from 50 to 5,000+ acres. This fits a landowner with a larger tract who wants one firm to handle planning, the sale itself, and follow-up work like burning or pest control, rather than someone with just a few acres looking for a single quick job.

ForestWild Consultants, LLC is a forestry and wildlife consulting firm based in Florence, Alabama. They work for you, not for timber buyers or mills, helping landowners manage, sell, and improve their woods. Their work covers forest management plans, greenbelt tax plans, timber sales, forest inventory and appraisal, reforestation and tree planting, prescribed burning, cost share program applications, forest certification, and wildlife or recreation management. They handle pine and hardwood, including loblolly pine, and wildlife habitat work for white-tailed deer, turkey, quail, and waterfowl. On a timber sale, they'll give you a straight read on your land: if it's ready, they'll go after the best price the market offers, and if it isn't, they'll lay out a plan to build value until it is. As they put it, "what we won't do is push you into a sale that doesn't serve your interests." They're based in Florence, Alabama, and regularly work across Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi, with projects in Georgia, Arkansas, the Florida Panhandle, and Kentucky considered case by case. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job they mention handling is 20 acres, part of a career range that has run from family farms up to large institutional and trust properties. This fits a landowner who wants an honest answer on whether now is the right time to sell, not just someone eager to cut. From forestwild.llc, read 3 October 2026.

Moore & Son Forestry & Land Consulting is a forestry consulting business in Scottsville, Tennessee, working with landowners since 1993. They help people manage, sell, and improve their woods, offering forest management plans, timber sales, forest inventory and appraisal, reforestation and tree planting, prescribed burning, wildlife and recreation management, greenbelt tax plans, and help applying for cost share assistance. Kraig Moore holds the credential Consultant Forester, ACF. A sale starts with a free visit to walk the property, look at access and boundary lines, and talk through whether the owner wants a long term view or the biggest possible return. After that walk they explain their recommendations and fees. For timber sales they charge a marketing fee of 10% of the proceeds and say "We do not get paid until you are paid." If the timber goes on the market it stays there 25 to 30 days before a bid opening, with a contract signed within 10 business days of the sale and full payment before any cutting begins. They keep checking on the logging once it starts. They describe working with landowners who have 10 to 300 acres of timber, which gives a sense of the size property they take on. Their work has covered stands across Kentucky, including Butler County. They note plainly, "We do not buy timber and do not receive compensation from loggers or mills." This fits a landowner who wants a hands on walk of the woods before any decisions, and who wants someone paid only after the timber sells. From mooreandsonforestry.com, read 3 October 2026.

Timberland Cruising and estimates

Vanleer Hardwoods Inc is based in Vanleer, Tennessee. They work as a sawmill, buy timber, and offer forestry consulting, and they serve Dickson County. The sawmill itself is temporarily closed right now, but the timber buying and consulting side still runs. Their main offer is timberland cruising and estimates. They ask landowners, "Do you own 50 or more acres of property with 40%+ timberland?" and if your land fits that, they'll look at what your timber may be worth and how it's priced, then put together options for your goals. So the minimum here is plain and stated: 50 acres, with at least 40 percent of that in timberland. This one suits a landowner with a larger tract, 50 acres or more and mostly wooded, who wants a straight read on value and pricing options before deciding anything, rather than someone with a smaller few-acre parcel.

Mobile Saw MillingProject Consulting & ManagementClearing & Site PrepDebris Hauling & Cleanup

Mill on Wheels is a mobile sawmill based in Ellenboro, North Carolina, run by Chris and Reina Carroll. Instead of you hauling logs anywhere, Chris brings the saw mill to your property, mills your logs on site, and stacks the finished lumber right there for you. He mills oak, cedar, and pine, and can handle logs up to 32 inches in diameter and 18 and a half feet long. The work goes through steps: you talk through what you have and what you want to make, Chris may need a site visit to size up the job, you get a written estimate, a deposit holds your spot in the queue since they usually book three to four weeks out, then Chris mills on site and stacks the lumber to air dry properly. Alongside milling, they also do land clearing, site prep, debris hauling, and project consulting, helping landowners figure out what their trees are worth turning into before any cutting happens. They've been doing this work for over 10 years, mainly in Western NC, the Piedmont area of NC, Upstate SC, and Eastern TN, with named towns including Charlotte, Fort Mill, Hickory, Morganton, Greenville SC and Simpsonville SC. Chris holds Woodmizer's Million Boardfoot designation. There's no stated minimum acreage or job size, but this isn't a timber sale operation buying standing trees. Chris says it plainly: "Instead of bringing your logs to US, we bring the saw mill to YOU, mill your logs and stack the lumber on your site." This one suits a landowner who already has logs on the ground, or standing trees they plan to fell themselves, and wants them turned into usable lumber on their own property rather than sold off as timber.

Questions landowners ask

How many forestry consultants are there in Tennessee?

40 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Tennessee Forestry Association accredited forester directory, covering 8 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
