TimberPro Forest Service
About TimberPro Forest Service
TimberPro Forest Service is a Nacogdoches, Texas forestry business that calls itself "Your forestry turn-key project specialist" and uses the line "When experience and integrity make all the difference." The site says the company offers "a variety of forestry services guaranteed to meet your project needs" and works with a professional and safety-first work ethic intended to protect both its workers and the client's property. Listed services include forest management, timber harvesting, timber management plans, buying and/or selling land, forest consulting, appraisals, timber cruising, timber marking, prescribed burning, site preparation, understory work, pasture maintenance, machine and hand planting, mechanical site prep such as raking, shearing, ripping and bedding, pond and road construction, herbicidal application and fertilization, boundary-line marking, wildlife food plots and fence construction. The services page explains several of these in technical terms, noting for example that shearing "prepares sites where vegetation is 4-6 inches in diameter or larger; conducted along contour to reduce soil erosion." Owner Chris Colbey is described as having been in the timber management business for over 20 years; the site states that in 2000 he started TimberPro Forestry Service and that in 2002 he graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Forestry and a minor in General Business. He is listed as an Accredited Forester through the Texas Forestry Association, holds Professional Logger Accreditation through Texas Sustainable Forestry Initiative (TSFI), is a Certified Prescribed Burn Manager through the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and a Certified Commercial Burn Manager through the Texas Department of Agriculture, holds a Commercial Herbicide Applicator's License, and is a member of the Society of American Foresters, the Texas Prescribed Burn Managers Council and the Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana Forestry Associations.

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.
