TIMBER MANAGEMENT

Upon acquiring timberland, both buyers and sellers may need a trusted advisor to provide effective timber management recommendations. There is no substitute to having a qualified forester visit your property with you to offer advice and technical expertise in the production of fully stocked stands of high-quality timber while meeting other management objectives.

Henderson & Associates has a team of experienced foresters prepared to manage timber land for private landowners in South Carolina. Insights backed by over 35 years of experience in South Carolina timber management enable our team to make sound and profitable recommendations regarding your property.

Why Timber Management

Today, there are 13.1 million acres of forest land in South Carolina, occupying roughly 68 percent of our state’s total land area. The total economic impact of forestry on the state economy is over $20 billion annually, which was reported in a 2017 study conducted by the South Carolina Forestry Commission.

Timber is one of our most valuable natural resources. This important renewable resource is valued by the amount produced, as well as the variety of products derived from wood products, like pulp and paper, furniture, lumber, plywood paneling and millwork, and even products like batteries, cosmetics, pencils and toothpicks.
