PROFILE

John Pirtle grew up in north Alabama and always loved the outdoors. Because of that, he knew that he wanted to end up in a job that kept him outside. After a time spent working for the FBI and in the service, Pirtle made that happen. He went to Auburn University, got a degree in forest management, and he’s been involved in forestry ever since.

For more than 20 years, Pirtle worked at the Alabama Forestry Commission, and about 10 years ago, he went into business for himself. He opened up Pirtle Forestry Services, providing complete forest management services to landowners across central Alabama and beyond. He currently has approximately 140,000 acres under contract—and he just started working with Atlantic Coast Conservancy, which has numerous tracts in the state. Regardless of the size of the property, his goal is always the same: help landowners successfully reach their personal management objectives.

“Helping landowners manage their forest land has always been a passion of mine,” Pirtle said. “And that includes clients who maybe have just 10 acres all the way up to those who have thousands of acres. I really love helping these landowners reach their objectives and goals in managing their property.”
