Cecil Lilley has been cruising timber for over 30 years. He has the ability and experience to advise the timber owner how to best manage his timber. Cecil can provide you an estimated value of your trees. He can also help market your timber. Cecil occasionally checks for bug infestation and notifies the owner if any action needs to be taken. He can advise the best approach for dealing with such situations. Cecil can possibly prevent the situation from becoming worse and salvage the remaining trees.

There are several ways to sell timber depending on the owner's objectives. After an inspection of the timber and a conference with the owner, Cecil can then decide the best way to market the timber. He can oversee the timber sale and harvesting according the owner's desire.

Cecil can provide timely cruise data to allow timber owners or prospective buyers to make the most informed decision. He gathers information on the species of trees as well as the grade. These factors assist in determining the marketable value. He can also supervise responsible planting and growing new trees.

Cecil received his Associate of Applied Science Degree in Forestry from Martin Technical Institute in Williamston, NC in 1976. He continues to broaden his knowledge of forestry by taking continuing education classes.
