Diron
is the owner and founder of Clements Forestry & Land Management. He started
this company after buying a forestry mulcher to clean up around one of his
farms. After years of seeing clients struggle to find a company to have their
properties cleared, pines thinned, trails cut or just maintained and not having
an option for smaller jobs he decided to hire a few people to run his equipment
full time. Now, his crew runs a skid steer, forestry mulcher, several large
tractors, excavator, and several other pieces of heavy equipment daily
depending on the current job. He continues to expand his forestry equipment and
heavy equipment fleet to help the public get their real estate ready to market
and help new landowners achieve their goals post purchase. This business has
allowed Diron to offer another service to the public to help people maintain
their land, be able to market their property in their best light or simply
enjoy their investment without having to do the work themselves or invest in
lots of expensive equipment that they may only use for the one task.
Diron

and selling champion barrel racing horses. With over 35 years’ experience in
the equine industry, he is a nationally ranked and known competitor competing
at the highest levels of barrel racing events. He is an active member of the
