What The Forestry Company does

The Forestry Company is a privately held, founder-owned forestry services firm headquartered at 502 West Green Street, Perry, Florida, providing full-service land and forest management to public and private landowners in Florida and Georgia. Founded in 1997 by Don Curtis, a University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry graduate (BS in Forest Resources, 1979), the company delivers an integrated suite of services including prescribed burning and wildfire suppression, site preparation, herbicide and fertilizer application, reforestation, timber sales and harvesting, timber inventory and appraisal meeting USPAP standards, wildlife management, timberland management, and real estate brokerage. The firm also offers specialty services such as Conservation Easements, Greenbelt Tax Treatment, Expert Witness work, GIS/GPS mapping, timber growth and yield modeling, timber NPV analysis, and helicopter burning.

The company operates a direct-to-landowner go-to-market model, reaching customers primarily through its website and direct phone/email contact rather than digital advertising. Service delivery is on-site at the customer's property using in-house skilled operators and a fleet of heavy equipment, differentiating the firm from advisory-only forestry consultancies. Technical capabilities include USPAP-compliant appraisals performed by a State-Certified General Real Estate Appraiser with 24+ years of experience (Robert F. Nolan III) and a trainee appraiser (Michele R. Curtis), four staff certified as Prescribed Burners in Florida and Georgia, and a proprietary Timber Security System that ensures appropriate accounting and payment during harvest operations. Harvests follow Silviculture Best Management Practices.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements priced by quote; no pricing is publicly disclosed and no revenue figure has been published. The firm is entirely bootstrapped with no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed cap table. The named team is small, with leadership concentrated around the founder; the company maintains a single headquarters and has not expanded beyond the FL/GA geographic footprint since founding. The business functions as a long-running, relationship-driven regional services operation rather than a venture-scale enterprise.
