Land ClearingTree RemovalLoggingFirewood and Sawlog Sales

Evergreen Alaska Inc. is a logging company based in Kasilof, Alaska. They say they offer "all forms of logging anywhere in Alaska," and their work also covers land clearing and tree removal, alongside selling firewood logs, saw logs, and house logs delivered to your location. For a timber sale, they work across the state, taking on jobs in "all capacities, terrains, and locations." On the logging side, they mention a CTL option, which they describe as "a low impact alternative to conventional logging practices," useful if you want less ground disturbance than typical mechanized harvesting. They also take on tree removal, land clearing, and firewood and sawlog sales as separate services, so if your project is really about clearing a building site or taking down a stand rather than a straight timber sale, that is on offer too. They list over 30 years of experience in timber falling, tree services, logging, and land clearing, and say their approach is to "treat all projects as if they were our own backyard." They are also shown as an A+ BBB rated company. In the directory they appear under Aleutians West and are shown serving Bethel Census Area, though their own pages describe their reach as statewide. This fits a landowner anywhere in Alaska who wants one company able to handle the logging itself plus any land clearing or tree removal that comes with it, rather than lining up separate contractors for each piece.

How much is my timber worth in Bethel County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Bethel County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
