This is VERY do-able. Biggest hindrance is whether you have the equipment to do plots, road work, etc. An ATV can do the bulk of the plot work (CNC style) but it sure is nice to have a tractor to box blade the roads, etc.

Soterra, Rayonier, Weyerhauser, RMS, Plum Creek, Meadwestvaco, AL Power and many others all have smaller places they lease. Find one close enough to home and the enjoyment you can have doing it yourself will make you wonder why you ever joined a club.
