American Forest Management
About American Forest Management
This listing draws on the company's national corporate site, americanforestmanagement.com, rather than on a page specific to the Lufkin office; the site's only stated address is the AFM corporate office at 8702 Red Oak Blvd., Suite C, Charlotte, NC, and Texas appears on the site as one of the states in its contact form and within the "Gulf Regions" it names, with no separate description of the Lufkin operation. American Forest Management describes itself as a forestry consulting and land management company whose mission is to "surpass expectations by creating custom natural resource solutions," saying it has been "helping landowners like you manage, sell, buy, improve and enjoy millions of acres of land for almost 60 years" and that it has "offices throughout the Northeast, Southeast, Lake States, Pacific Northwest, and Gulf Regions of the United States." The contact page states that its consultants are ready to help manage "your property (15 acres or more)," the one tract-size threshold the site gives. Services listed under Land Management+ include reforestation and silviculture, timber sales, forest inventory, wildlife services, wood flow and fiber supply agreements, environmental services, forest carbon, land surveying, accounting, agriculture services and forest certification, the last described as "forest management operations conducted under FSC, SFI, ATFS guidelines." The company says it consults with private landowners, investment management organizations, trusts and conservation groups, and builds individualized plans rather than applying "a one-size-fits-all approach." Its accounting arm states it has twenty employees dedicated to client accounting, CPAs on staff, and work running through Forest Products Accounting (FPA), covering property tax administration, audit support and hunt lease administration. AFM Ag Services covers farmland buying and selling, precision agriculture soil sampling, conservation easements, farm inventory and budgeting, and lease agreements. The site also runs a real estate arm with land listings and technical expertise in appraisal, biometrics and GIS analytics. As described on americanforestmanagement.com, read 23 September 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.
