About Ray Lott & Associates, Inc.
Ray Lott & Associates, Inc. presents itself as “a full service timber and forestry consulting firm,” describing its work as “Full service forestry consulting, providing virtually all services desired by timberland owners, or anyone needing professional forestry and timber or timberland expertise.” The site’s pages carry the standing heading “Forestry & Timber Consultants” beside the words “TIMBER TIMBERLAND,” and give a mailing address at P.O. Box 1845 in Texarkana, listing both “Texarkana, Texas 75504” and “Texarkana, Arkansas 75504” along with an office line of 903.792.4465. On geography the firm writes: “We are located in Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas. Our complete line of services are provided in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma,” adding that “For select projects, our services are provided anywhere in the United States or the world.” A dedicated timber management page sets out what it calls its “TIMBER & FOREST MANAGEMENT SERVICES,” an itemized list covering forest management plans; mapping and aerial photography; select thinning; wildlife; aesthetics; reforestation and tree planting; insects and diseases; prescribed burning; herbicides; boundaries; and government assistance programs. The same page carries the firm’s argument for why management matters: “Timber & Timberland can be made more productive and profitable with proper management,” and “Forest Management can take many forms, but it always involves implementing the best of your options so that your timberland meets your objectives.” It goes on to warn that “Few landowners realize the full scope of their available forest management choices. Often serious mistakes are made by choosing action from an incomplete range of possible options,” and that “Only an inspection of your timberland by a qualified forestry consultant can establish your possible options. Then, your objectives can be set.” The firm describes the scope of that action as potentially including “harvest decisions, planting choices, silviculture, insect & disease control, fire prevention & control, boundary issues, roads and taxes.” A line repeated at the foot of both crawled pages notes that “ALL PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN OF OUR ACTUAL JOBS.” The site names no founding year, no staff, no certifications and no minimum tract size.

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.
