We follow Pennsylvania SFI Professional Timber Harvester Training Program’s industry leading sustainability and woodland management practices to ensure that your ground not only looks great after it’s been logged, but that it can continue to grow mature trees for years to come.
We also partner primarily with local sawmills and lumber groups to get your timber sold at fair market prices and to craftspeople who will put it to good use.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Selling Timber
Timber prices vary dramatically by species, maturity, board length, and more. We often pay from $1500 to as much as $4000 per acre for mature wood.
We can usually get to your project within a few months, but depending on the season and project size, it can take up to a year for full completion. Your property will be unique, and we’ll give you timing at the time of our first meeting.
We primarily do selective cutting, meaning we harvest only mature, valuable wood. That often involves cutting off large trees at about 6 inches above the ground. We then clean and reseed our logging trails, and ultimately prime your land for fresh growth and fast maturation.
By removing the forest canopy, more light reaches the ground, spurring growth among smaller trees and saplings that will replace your recent timber within a decade or two.
