About Moore & Son Forestry & Land Consulting
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.
