About Appalachian Growth Forest Management & Logging, LLC

Appalachian Growth Forest Management & Logging, LLC is a forestry and logging business in Shenandoah County, Virginia, and the surrounding area. It has operated since 2018 and works under the name Appalachian Growth Forestry Services. Alan Gleske owns it, and the logging and forest management work is run from one place, so a landowner can start with a plan and have the cutting and marking handled by the same people. The logging work follows a set order: a plan built around your objectives, then marking the timber, then harvesting, then merchandising logs to their highest value. The business also clears views for homeowners, sells pole-length firewood by the truckload, writes forest management plans that cover timber valuation and wildlife management, treats invasive species such as multiflora rose, and plans and conducts prescribed burns. In its own words, the aim is to "get the most out of your timber while preserving your land's beauty and future harvest potential." Alan Gleske holds a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from West Virginia University. He is licensed and insured in forest pest control through the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and is a Certified Prescribed Burn Manager through the Virginia Department of Forestry. Before starting his own business he worked for a logging operation and spent three years fighting wildfires in California. This suits a landowner in Shenandoah County who wants one firm to plan, mark, and cut the timber, and who may also want burning or pest control done afterward.
