The forest ground in Smith County is in the central Mississippi Pine Belt between Jackson and Laurel. Stands here are made up of rolling upland pine plantations, hardwood confined to the drains feeding the Strong, Leaf, and Okatoma.
Southeast Forestlands works only for the landowner. We do not buy timber and we are not paid by mills.
Site Conditions Across the County
Smith County is coastal-plain ground — sandy to sandy-loam uplands over clay.
Near the Strong the water table sits high in winter.
After harvest on Smith County sand-loam ground, site preparation is mostly brush control.
Nearby Counties
We also work with landowners in nearby counties, including Scott, Newton, Jasper, Covington, Simpson, Rankin, and Jones.
General Guidance
How the work itself is done is explained once, site-wide, rather than repeated county by county:
- What a timber cruise measures
- How a sealed-bid timber sale works
- How we sell timber
- Wet-weather logging and BMPs
- Thinning decisions
- Regeneration and replanting
- All forestry services
