About Morgan Forestry Consultants, Inc.
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.
