PROFILE
Richard Crenshaw, a consulting forester
based in Greenville, took the step toward a
small consultancy when travel all over the
southeast with a larger firm became impractical
for his family. Now he helps private landowners
in the Butler County region achieve their goals.
Most of Crenshaw’s clients own from 20 acres to
a few hundred acres, and he said that being on
his own gives him the flexibility to take on
jobs that wouldn’t be cost effective for larger
consultancies.
“I can take any job that I think
I can help the person with,” he said. Crenshaw
chooses to stick with more traditional forestry
methods rather than some of the more
gadget-heavy, technology-intensive approaches.
“I use more paper than some foresters,” he said.
“We are growing trees, after all.” Much
of Crenshaw’s day-to-day work includes timber
estimation, boundary maintenance, and timber
sales, along with some urban forestry for the
city of Montgomery. For his clients’
larger-scale needs, he works with local
contractors.
Crenshaw
said that marking timber for a select cutting is
one satisfying aspect of his job, because
choosing which trees to cut lets him have a hand
in shaping the future of the forest. But what he
finds most rewarding is guiding clients through
their options on major decisions and knowing
he has helped someone accomplish something they
couldn’t have otherwise.
