Morgan Forestry Consultants, Inc. is a timber and log sales firm in Wytheville, Virginia, on Grayson Turnpike. It has operated since 1994. The business describes itself as one that "serves as agent to private landowners to market standing timber." It works for a commission on the sale, which is deducted from the sale amount at contract closing. President Rob Morgan graduated from the Virginia Tech School of Forestry and Wildlife in 1984 and spent seven years as an Area Forester with the Virginia Department of Forestry before starting the firm. For a timber sale, the firm marks the boundaries, cruises the tract to find volume and value by species, writes a prospectus to advertise the sale, prepares the contract, and monitors the logging to check it follows the contract. Other work includes timber marking, timber cruising and appraisals, timber stand improvement, thinning, reforestation, boundary line painting, forest stewardship and management plans, timber value estimates, and timber tax help. It lists itself as a consulting forester under Virginia code section 10.1-1181.9. The counties it serves include Bedford, Carroll, Grayson, Montgomery, Pulaski and Wythe, and its stated service area also covers West Virginia and Tennessee. The firm names white oak and walnut as its main species. On tracts with high-value trees like these, it can contract a logger to do the harvest, then market the logs to sawmills, veneer mills and overseas export buyers. Consulting forester Andrew Hensley earned a BS in Forestry from Virginia Tech in 2005, bought timber and logs for two local sawmills, and has worked as a consulting forester since 2018. This firm suits owners with white oak or walnut who want one outfit to handle the sale and oversee the logging, paid by commission out of the proceeds.

Timber Marketing & Management is a timber consulting firm in Chesterfield, Virginia, with an office on Iron Bridge Road. It works for private landowners who want to sell timber, manage their woods, or sell the land itself. The firm has been at it for over 40 years. The work covers timber sales by bid or open market, timber cruises, forest management, post-harvest services, boundary line maintenance, and land sales. A sale usually starts with a talk about what you want from the property. Next comes field work: inventory, mapping, and appraisal. The firm then markets the timber, takes bids or negotiates, and handles the contracts and payment. It oversees the harvest and, if you want, the replanting. Inventories are careful and often include 100% tallies of sawtimber. From first consultation to reforestation usually takes about two years. Most services are paid by a flat commission, and extra work is charged by the man-day. They serve most of Virginia, from the Eastern Shore to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and further for certain properties. Their rule of thumb is 20 acres or more, since they focus on commercial harvests. They will take on smaller tracts too, depending on several factors. They are clear about one thing: "We do not manage or harvest individual trees/yard trees." They also manage hunting leases on request. This suits a landowner with 20 acres or more who wants a full handoff from cruise to closeout and is comfortable paying on commission.
