Why Chose Us

Because Barnwell Forestry delivers:

  • Honest

  • Integrity

  • Quality

  • Complete

“We are property owners in Grayson Co KY and needed Road/Trail Improvement on about 4,200 total feet of eroded roads and trails. We received cost share from the NRCS. We happened upon the information for Barnwell Forestry Service and called and talked to Mike Silliman. This was the first time we had done anything like this and weren't really sure how to proceed. Mike was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. His team from Barnwell Forestry was able to take care of all the work and they did an excellent job! They even did some brush management and timber stand improvement for us. Mike even waited several months for his payment as the government shutdown held up all the payments. We plan to have more work done by Barnwell in the near future and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing this type of service.”

“It has been a pleasure working with Bryce and Mike at Barnwell Forestry. I was given their information from my local Soil conservation here in Marion Co. Ky. My plan was to implement wildlife TSI through EQIP with the state program. Bryce and Mike are very knowledgeable and made the process easy for me to help and learn along the way.”

Travis LaMkin

"Many of the properties I manage have experienced decades of fire suppression, resulting in a shift from Oak–Hickory dominance to Maple–Beech forests. Combined with pressure from invasive species, this has reduced overall ecological health and diversity. The properties required targeted work to reduce competition from invasives, open the understory, and support long-term habitat sustainability. Barnwell Forestry delivered exactly what was needed. Their team conducted invasive-species treatments, forestry mowing, and both mid-story and canopy thinning—each implemented with careful planning and a clear understanding of long-term ecological outcomes while avoiding negative impacts. What impressed me most was their professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail. Their crew worked efficiently, respected the land, and left the property measurably improved. I would confidently recommend Barnwell Forestry to other landowners. Their expertise, quality of work, and genuine commitment to improving woodland health make them an exceptional partner for sustainable forest management."
