Forestry has always been in the family for Jon McDonald. He grew up watching his father, Tommy, work in the industry. Specifically, he worked for Georgia Pacific for 18 years before starting his own company, Complete Forestry Service, Inc., in 1997. Jon knew pretty quickly that he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. “I always gravitated toward working outside and not being confined to an office,” he said. “Already enjoying the outdoors, I wanted to carry on what my dad started.”

After graduating from Auburn University with a degree in forestry, Jon did just that, joining his father at the company. Together, they offer clients full service forestry management, from timber sales and prescribed burning to reforestation and appraisals. Though based in Columbus, Georgia, they travel all over Alabama to perform those services as well. “We will go wherever needed if the project is right,” Jon said.

Wherever the work is, Jon finds each and every project rewarding, not only because he enjoys what he does in helping landowners, but carrying on the good work his father started all those years ago. “My father taught me everything I know,” he said. “I enjoy working with him and continuing something he started that we both feel is important.”
