Strategic forestry management for Georgia properties

Your Georgia timberland is one of of your most significant assets. But managing it is a source of critical inefficiency. Perhaps you're using a forester who is only focused on harvest revenue, and a biologist who is trying to manage wildlife—with no strategic connection between them. Or, your on-site team is too busy with day-to-day operations to develop a 20-year timber model. This strategy gap means your land is not working in unison.

You are probably leaving financial revenue on the table and creating unnecessary conflict between your timber and wildlife goals.

The Stewards’s Strategist: your integrated forestry master plan

We fill that gap. Private Land Management is the Steward's Strategist who provides the C-suite level master plan along with the licensed Georgia forestry services your property needs. We deliver a single, data-driven strategy where forestry and wildlife goals are perfectly aligned. Your timber plan becomes the engine that funds and creates your ideal wildlife habitat.

  • Integrated Planning: We develop timber harvest strategies that create ideal brood habitat for turkey and browse for deer, turning a silvicultural action into a wildlife benefit.

  • Unlocking Hidden Revenue: We provide the strategic analysis to optimize your timber sales, increase Georgia pine straw revenue (often from $24k to $100k+), and identify high-value opportunities like carbon credits.

  • A Unified Playbook: As licensed Georgia forestry practictioners, we partner with your on-site team or manage vendors directly, ensuring everyone is executing a single, efficient land management plan.
