A strategic consultancy for high-acreage recreational and timber assets
We specialize in the integrated oversight of legacy properties, typically 100+ acres, where financial ROI and elite wildlife habitat are the primary objectives. We do not provide residential landscaping; we engineer long-term land legacies.

SC Lowcountry Outdoors
Your land is more than just property; it's a legacy and an asset. But only if it’s properly managed.
Actually managing the property’s potential is often a frustrating and inefficient exercise of coordinating separate brokers, foresters, and biologists. The most significant opportunities are lost in the gaps between these silos, value is left on the table, and you end up with less time to actually enjoy your property.
Private Land Management offers a different path. For over two decades, we have acted as the single, trusted partner for a select group of landowners, integrating elite-level real estate, forestry, and wildlife expertise into a unified long-term strategy.
We replace the burden of vendor management with the confidence of a master plan.
This maximizes your land's financial, recreational, and ecological value for generations to come.
Four areas of expertise. One trusted partner.
-
Forestry
We provide large-scale timber asset management for private estates. Our long-range plans integrate sustainable revenue from harvests with the creation of premier wildlife habitat, ensuring your land's total value appreciates for generations.
-
Wildlife
We engineer huntable ecosystems for trophy deer, quail, turkey, and other game species. Our proven, hands-on strategies move beyond food plots to build sustainable, premier populations of bobwhite quail, trophy deer, turkey, and waterfowl.
-
GIS mapping
We replace guesswork with precision. Our GIS maps are the foundational, data-driven blueprint for your property, informing every strategic decision you make—from financial planning to habitat management.
-
Brokerage
We act as your trusted advisor in high-stakes transactions. Because we are land managers first, we understand the true, on-the-ground value of a legacy property and leverage that expertise to protect your interests, whether buying or selling.
A partner grounded in proven expertise
Our guidance is built on over two decades of boots-on-the-ground experience and recognized industry leadership. We replace the friction of coordinating separate vendors with a single, unified strategy that integrates elite-level forestry and wildlife biology.
Led by our founder, Jason Hewett, Private Land Management provides the practical wisdom required to manage complex ecosystems at scale. Jason is a recognized leader in the conservation community, with his work in Old-Field Management featured in Garden & Gun. His approach at Clarendon Farms shifting from traditional food plots to native habitat regrowth demonstrates our commitment to results that are both ecologically sound and financially sustainable.
We bring clarity to the complexity of land ownership, ensuring your property thrives as a financial, recreational, and ecological legacy. Whether optimizing timber ROI in the Georgia Piedmont or engineering Lowcountry waterfowl habitats, we act as your single, expert partner in stewardship.
Who we serve
Private Land Management serves high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutional investors who own significant recreational and timberland estates.
We specialize in the integrated management of properties where the primary goals are legacy stewardship, ecological health, and financial ROI.
Note on Service Scale: Our firm is specifically engineered for high-acreage properties (typically 100+ acres). We do not provide residential landscaping, garden maintenance, or small-lot clearing. Our focus is strictly on expansive recreational tracts, working timber forests, and historic sporting plantations.
While our consulting expertise is sought after nationwide, our primary focus and deepest operational experience lie within the Southeastern states:
South Carolina (home base): From the historic Lowcountry to the Upstate, we offer specialized SC Forestry Management and SC Wildlife Consulting for owners of large-scale plantations and timber tracts. We are fully licensed for forestry and brokerage services throughout South Carolina.
Georgia: We provide boots-on-the-ground GA Forestry Management and GA Wildlife Consulting, with deep expertise in the Georgia Plantation Belt’s quail and timber ecosystems. We are fully licensed for forestry and brokerage services throughout Georgia.
North Carolina: We serve landowners from the coastal plains to the Piedmont, integrating waterfowl habitat engineering with sustainable forestry.
Alabama & North Florida: We actively serve clients in Alabama and North Florida with expert wildlife consulting and integrated timber strategies for properties that align with our high-acreage, holistic approach.
The Client Profile
Our clients typically face the "siloed vendor" problem. They seek to replace the inefficiency of managing separate foresters, biologists, and brokers with a single Master Plan delivered by a partner who understands land as both a passion and a portfolio asset.
Kind words from our clients
“Jason and his team have transformed our property in a multitude of positive ways... They handle the timber management, Pinestraw contracts, hunting leases, [and] wildlife management goals... opened our woods for quail habitat and established plans for food plots, dove fields, and turkey. They have improved our revenue streams in a careful and productive way... I could not recommend Private Land Management more highly.”

Frequently Asked Questions about large-scale land management
