I'm looking for a website that will help me to identify trees and other plants on my lease. We have a few spots that need to be cleared out and a few trees need to disapear, but I don't want to cut down a tree with out being sure what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even some books would be of great help to me.

Southeastern guide to trees and woody plants is a good book. If you are using a logger they are usually pretty good at identifying tree species but better safe than sorry. Your nut and fruit producers need to be saved if possible. Honeylocust, oaks (all species), dogwoods(turkey), pecans, persimmons are a few to watch out for.

Call UT or your local extention agent. He might would come out and assist/help you in your decision making. UT has brochures you can buy and some for free.
 
I would also suggest to make an investment of buying a book called National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees. I believe they also sell them for different regions. I love mine as you are able to take the book with you out to the field and look at the bark, leaves, blooms, etc...
Some trees were hard for me to identify 100% due to the maturity of the tree. The bark on a 5 to 10 year old tree is sometimes quite different in color and texture when compared to the same tree of 50 to 100 years old. You might have to wait one full revolution in seasons to more accurately identify as the book I mentioned shows key leaf parts, flower blooms of the trees, fruit and cones, tree bark, and even some trees leaf color in the fall. Its an excellent book in my opinion and a good investment for the do-it-yourselfer.
Good luck

That sounds great. I hope you enjoy yourself. Let us know how it works out for you. I have have to agree with what was mentioned earlier about identifying the trees that bare fruit and nuts.
Good luck
