Templin Forestry, Inc. has the benefit of experience that dates back to 1964 to Davis Forestry, of Monticello, Arkansas. Jerry Davis was a great innovator and a leader in forestry. He invented an omni sprayer for forest herbicides in the early 1970s and created systems of people management to get a lot of the hard work done in the South, such as reforestation. Mr. Davis was and still is a great promoter of the free market system. 


Templin started working for Davis Forestry in January 1979 and had the benefit of learning the forestry consulting business from the best mentors.  Templin bought out the Louisiana Division of Davis Forestry in 1984.
