ABOUT US
Our Roots
Back in 1954, when forest management was in its infancy, Charles Tomlinson founded a forestry consulting firm in northwest Alabama. His goal was to help landowners improve, protect and maximize the value of their timber and timber land.
Over the following decades the business grew to manage thousands of acres for landowners who recognized the long-term value of investing in their natural resources. In 1997, Charles partnered with his son, Stephan Tomlinson, establishing Tomlinson & Associates and thus bringing together generations of experience in forestry, land management, timber harvesting, and rural real estate.
Growing Assets
As the business grew so did the need for better tools, and a way to preserve and manage their decades-worth of land-management knowledge. This was the impetus for developing the Growing AssetsTM Information Management Service, which began as a simple data-storage system and evolved into a multi-faceted and interactive software tool we use to run the business today.
In 2008 Tomlinson & Associates branched into Natural Resources Group for land sales, and Growing Assets for land services.  Today, Growing Assets provides forestry consulting, land management, timber sale administration, and the complete range of natural resource services.
While our name has changed over the years our goal remains the same: to be the trusted partner for landowners in improving, protecting, and maximizing the value of their timber and timberland investments.

ABOUT US
Our Roots
In 1954 Charles Tomlinson started a small, forestry-consulting firm in the northwest Alabama. Back then, forest management was in its infancy and landowners had few markets for their timber. Over the next 20 years, as more markets developed, the demand for timber increased, and by the mid-1990s the business, then known as Tomlinson & Associates, was managing thousands of acres of land for both small and large landowners. These owners saw the potential for a return on investment, and were spending to manage, improve, and protect their natural resources.
In 1997, Charles asked his son Stephan to join him as he was preparing to partially retire. At the time Stephan was co-owner of a logging business in Mississippi, as well as a consulting land broker so it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Growing Assets
Through the transition it became apparent that they needed to find a way to preserve the vast store of information Charles had amassed over the past 40+ years about the management of clients’ land; information that was difficult to find and now was in jeopardy of being lost. This led to the creation of the Growing AssetsTM Information Management Service; a project that began as a simple data storage system, and has grown into a multi-faceted and interactive software tool used to run the business.
In xxxxx, Tomlinson & Associates branched into two businesses: Natural Resources Group to handle all land sales, and Growing Assets for land management services.
