The new company will provide a full range of quality professional forest management services supported by the latest GIS/GPS technology and database management systems.
“Mike and I have been friends, as well as competitors, for more than 40 years and have worked together on numerous joint programs,” said Sam Crawford. “We felt this was the perfect opportunity to create a forestry management consulting venture with expanded professional expertise and a larger geographical footprint to better serve our customers - regardless of the size of their land and timber holdings.”
The venture brings together a strong and seasoned leadership team of foresters, biologists and land management professionals. As a division of Advanced Ecology, Ltd., Bird & Crawford Forestry will also be able to draw upon natural resource management assets including environmental consulting, mitigation banking and wildlife management. Mr Bird continues to serve as the CEO of Advanced Ecology.
Bird & Crawford Forestry is among the leading independent forestry consulting businesses in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi, serving private and commercial landowners, timberland investment firms, timber industry clients and public lands.
