About GFR Forestry Consultants
GFR Forestry Consultants is a forestry consulting business based in Midlothian, Virginia. It provides forest and land management services to individuals, investors, corporations and governments. It lists Virginia counties it serves, among them Chesterfield, Henrico, Powhatan, Louisa, Essex and York. On the timber side, it does timber cruising and appraisals, timber marking, and timber sale contract preparation and administration. It also does pre-harvest planning, including logging engineering and road design, and writes forest stewardship and management plans. It offers GPS and GIS mapping, boundary line painting and hunting lease administration. For a sale, its website says it helps prepare the timber sale, organizes a sales announcement and marketing plan, and manages bids, with the stated goal to "maximize the value of your timber revenue." Timber volume and value estimates rest on an on-site inventory, and it can run a timber trespass analysis. The business states it has served clients since 1964. It lists itself as a consulting forester as prescribed in Virginia state code section 10.1-1181.9. Its foresters also hold registrations in North Carolina and South Carolina, and the firm belongs to the Association of Consulting Foresters and the Society of American Foresters. It suits a Virginia landowner who wants one firm to cruise, mark and sell timber and handle the sale paperwork, and who also needs boundaries, mapping or a hunting lease looked after.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.

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
