Wildwood Consulting

What Sets Us Apart From The Rest
ACF

We belong to the Association of Consulting Foresters, and are active in our North Carolina chapter. ACF requires members to follow a strict code of ethics and put the interests of their clients above the interests of timber companies or any other entity.

Experience

We have decades of experience working for forest landowners in southern Appalachia. Whether you’re a family, an institution, or a large corporate landowner, odds are we’re familiar with the issues you’re dealing with.

Quality

We decided long ago that we don’t want to be the biggest consulting forestry firm in the area. We want to be the best. Whoever our clients and whatever their goals, we aim to deliver the best quality service available.

COOPERATION

While we always put our clients first, we’ve built good working relationships with land conservancies, timber buyers, loggers and regulators. These relationships allow us access to a broad range of markets, equipment, expertise, and funding sources get good work done.
