The Frog, the Scorpion, and the Timber Deal
You ever heard the story of the frog and the scorpion?
The scorpion asks the frog to carry him across the river. Frog says, “No way — you’ll sting me.”
Scorpion says, “I wouldn’t do that; we’d both drown.”
Halfway across — sting.
As they sink, the frog gasps, “Why?”
Scorpion says, “It’s just my nature.”
Same thing happens in the timber world.
You’ll have folks promise honesty, fairness, “just send me the tract info.”
Then — sting. They undercut, go around you, or short the landowner.
Here at Southeast Forestlands LLC, we protect landowners from that.
Every deal is written, verified, and backed by professional forestry ethics.
Because in this business, you can’t change a scorpion’s nature — but you can keep your frog from drowning.
