H&H Forest Management, Inc. is a forestry consulting firm in South Hill, Virginia. It also does tree services. If you are selling timber, the work runs in order. First the firm sets your goals, then does a statistically based timber cruise and designs the harvest. It paints or flags the harvest boundaries and the trees to be cut. It drafts a pre-harvest plan covering haul roads, skid trails, logging decks and stream crossings, and it markets your timber to as many as 140+ prospective buyers. It also gives advice on contract terms and on a sale structure meant to limit your tax liability, and it inspects the logging more than once. Timber sale administration is typically a commission on total sale revenue, on a sliding scale. Beyond sales, the firm offers timber cruising and appraisals, forest stewardship plans, forest or wildlife management plans, tree farm certification, pine and hardwood planting, prescribed burning, aerial or ground herbicide work, pre-commercial thinning and GIS mapping. Inventory work can be billed as a fixed price, per hour, per acre or per plot.

The counties served are Amelia, Brunswick, Charles City, Charlotte, Dinwiddie, Greensville, Halifax, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Nottoway, Prince Edward, Prince George, Southampton, Surry and Sussex. The firm's approach is to "fit our services into your box," not the other way round. It suits owners who want one firm involved from the first cruise through the logging, and owners with a single job, since it takes on both long-term management and one-time turn-key projects.

Interstate Forest Products is a forestry consulting company in Stantonsburg, Virginia, serving Virginia and North Carolina. Chuck Little founded it in 2011 after sixteen years buying timber for companies such as Georgia-Pacific and Coastal Lumber Company. The firm helps landowners manage and sell their timberland. The work includes management plans, timber cruises and appraisals, contract cruising and mapping, boundary marking, harvest inspections, and GPS and GIS maps.

The species they name are loblolly, longleaf, and shortleaf pine, along with hardwoods and red oak. The counties they name are Brunswick, Dinwiddie, Emporia City, Greensville, Mecklenburg, Southampton, and Sussex. A sale starts with a timber cruise to estimate volume.

The buyer has 30 days from the sale to do a title search, prepare the timber deed, and close, and the landowner is paid in full at closing. They offer "no cost or obligation" to look at your timber and lay out your options. Chuck is North Carolina Registered Forester #1429, North Carolina ProLogger certified, and a member of the North Carolina Forestry Association. This suits a landowner who wants a written plan, a cruise, or a sealed bid sale handled by a registered forester who has bought timber himself.

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.
