Southeastern Agri-Business Management, Inc., a subsidiary of Nichols Land & Investment Co., is a full-fledged land management firm with specialties in Forest Management and Transitional Land Management. We have been managing property in Georgia for more than 30 years and are aware of the dynamic changes in land use and land values. We can design a management plan that meets landowners’ specific needs, while maintaining sound forestry practices and practicing good land stewardship.

Management of Timberland can vary from a small, family owned property that needs consultation every two to five years to an industrial landowner with a large, comprehensive management regimen that requires daily attention. At Southeastern Agri-Business we can design a plan to fit your needs. We have resident foresters, forest technicians, real estate agents, and accountants with decades of experience to fit your needs. The following are just a sample of the services we offer:

• Forest Management Plans
• Timber Inventory
• Timber Sales
• Timberland Valuation
• Land Appraisals
• Timber Stand Improvement
• Regeneration
• GIS Mapping Services
• Hunting Lease Management
• Boundary Maintenance
• Road Construction and Maintenance

Management of land that is considered to be of a higher and better use (HBU) than a traditional timberland investment tract requires a much different set of considerations. Southeastern Agri-Business works closely with Nichols Land & Investment to ensure the proper planning and management of tracts that will one day be developed or converted to another use. This can include anything from zoning concerns to erosion management. Should the property develop from a timber investment into a commercial investment, the transition from timberland management to sales and commercial leasing will be seamless.
