TENSAW LAND & TIMBER COMPANY

Tensaw Land & Timber Company, Inc. was founded by Congressman Frank W. Boykin on November 1, 1937. Today the Company is owned by his heirs and is under the management of the Congressman's grandson, Riley Boykin Smith, as President and Chief Executive Officer, and granddaughter Starr L. Boykin as Secretary/Treasurer. Judy D. Lewis serves as Financial Manager. Tensaw acquired approximately 100,000 acres of prime timberland located in Mobile and Washington Counties of Alabama while under the direction of the Congressman. The majority of the property is under a long-term timber lease with Resource Management Services located in Birmingham, Alabama. The acreage not under lease is under the direction of Starr Boykin in the Mobile Office and Albert Parnell in the McIntosh Office. Throughout the years, certain land owned by the Company has become more suited for commercial development than timber growth. Such was the case in 2007, when Tensaw sold approximately 2,500 acres in North Mobile..
