Lone Star Forestry, LLC
About Lone Star Forestry, LLC
Lone Star Forestry, LLC is a consulting forestry firm in Huntsville, Texas. Its foresters work for the landowner, not for sawmills, loggers or associations, and the firm says its work is for the owner alone. Wayne Pfluger founded the firm in 2005, and the firm says he has more than 30 years of forest management work in East Texas. The firm handles timber sales, timber inventories and appraisals (cruising), prescribed burning, property tax and cost-share applications, silvicultural work such as planting and herbicide use, management plans, GPS and GIS mapping, carbon programs, boundary line marking, and wider land management such as easements, fencing, roadwork, oil and gas leasing, and hunting and grazing lease management. Most timber sales run through a "bidding process assuring you competitive prices." The firm drafts a Timber Sales Contract and supervises the harvest to see that the contract is followed. For management plans, the firm names properties from twenty acres to ten thousand acres. Counties named include Anderson, Angelina, Harris, Montgomery and Walker. The firm lists a Texas Accredited Forester credential, a Certified Burn Manager (TDA) credential, and membership in the Association of Consulting Foresters. It suits owners who want a forester on their side through a timber sale, from the bid to the contract to the cut, or who want a written plan for their land. From lsforestry.com, read 18 October 2026.
Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
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? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
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? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
