About Panther Creek Forestry, LLC
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.

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? →
