PROFILE

M & W Forestry Consultants in Ozark is helmed by co-owners Clint Wilks and Franklin McAliley, supported by two more registered foresters and a forestry technician. M & W prides itself on having a forester on site to supervise any work being done on their clients’ land. They provide a full range of forestry services, over the years, they’ve gained particular expertise in growing and managing longleaf pine.

When the CRP program began to encourage planting longleaf in the 1980s, their region saw the most longleaf planted in the nation. At the time, there wasn’t a great deal of information about growing it, and they made mistakes along the way. Longleaf is notoriously sensitive in the seedling stage, but between the care they take with seedlings and the experienced crews they work with, M & W routinely achieves 95 to 100 percent survival rates with the longleaf tracts they plant and manage.

M&W also studies family lines to identify not only the species but the genetic strain most likely to thrive on a client’s land. As for many consultants, the bottom line is helping clients achieve their goals.
