Considering a timber harvest can feel overwhelming. You might wonder: What is my timber worth? Who can I trust to buy it? How do I harvest without harming my land?

Our Timber Sales service exists to answer those questions and handle the entire process for you. We help you plan and execute a timber sale that meets your goals — from maximizing profit to ensuring your forest is treated with respect. With Stevens Forestry’s professional guidance, you can approach a timber harvest with confidence.

With our Timber Sales service, you can count on us to:

• Evaluate Your Timber: We start with a thorough assessment of your woods, including estimating the volume and value of marketable timber. This pre-harvest valuation gives you a clear understanding of what you have before any trees are cut.

• Develop a Harvest Plan: We’ll select and mark the trees for harvest based on your forest management objectives. The harvest plan is designed to meet your goals and uphold sustainable forestry practices.

• Coordinate Qualified Buyers: Stevens Forestry handles buyer coordination on your behalf. We tap into a network of reputable local timber buyers — including loggers, sawmills, and procurement foresters — and, if requested, invite competitive bids. By fostering a competitive market for your timber, we help maximize profit.

• Oversee the Harvest: Throughout the logging operation, we represent you in the field. We monitor the harvest closely to make sure the loggers follow the plan, protect your land (such as minimizing damage to remaining trees and soil), and adhere to best management practices. You can expect regular updates and peace of mind that the work is being done right.

• Handle the Details: From preparing the timber sale contract to monitoring compliance and final close-out of the sale, we take care of the paperwork and technical details. In the end, we ensure you receive proper payment and that your property is left in good shape post-harvest.
