About Rock Springs Forestry, Inc.
Rock Springs Forestry, Inc. is a family-owned forestry consulting business in Capron, Virginia, in Southampton County. It has been operating since 2000. It works with private landowners across Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina, and lists these counties as its service area: Brunswick, Chesapeake City, Dinwiddie, Emporia City, Franklin City, Greensville, Isle of Wight, Nottoway, Prince George, Southampton, Suffolk City, Surry, Sussex, and Virginia Beach City. The work covers timber sales and forest planting. They offer clearcut and thinning or select cut timber sales, with timber cruising, appraisals, timber marking, and timber sale contract preparation and administration. On the planting side they plant hardwood and pine, carry out timber stand improvement and pre-commercial thinning, and apply herbicide from the ground or by air. They also do prescribed burning, boundary line painting, wildlife habitat management, and forest stewardship or management plans. They say that since 2000 they have planted over 100,000 acres for private landowners, local, state and federal government, and large corporations. They start with a no-cost, no-obligation review of your timber sales or management needs. From there they give advice and recommendations to meet your objectives, and then they carry out the services that follow from them. They describe themselves as a "one-stop shop," so one firm would handle every stage, from planting to the timber sale. This suits a landowner who wants one firm to plan, plant, and sell timber on a tract in the counties named above. From rockspringsforestry.com, read 10 October 2026.
