As a skeptic by nature, I entered into land management negotiations with a firm ‘show me’ attitude. Patrick Neeley of Alabama Timber Resources patiently answered all my questions regarding clear-cutting, stream protection regulations, logger’s access and timber delivery logistics. We walked the property together so that he could identify specific timber and explain log value calculations. It was evident to me that I was treated honestly with personal concern. Now four years on, a strong crop of Improved Loblolly pines is growing for the next generation to appreciate. Alabama Timber Resources exemplify all the qualities required for my recommendation.
