Summit Forestry Services is a forestry consulting business based in Grass Valley, California, for landowners with timber who need help deciding what to do with it. It's been operating since January 1997. The work covers the permits needed to harvest: Timber Harvest Plans, emergencies, exemptions, and 3 acre conversions. They also do timber marking, timber sale preparation, logging administration, timber inventories, appraisals and valuations, log merchandising, marketing and accounting, and independent third party consultations. On the land itself they handle reforestation work such as site preparation, tree planting and timber stand improvement, plus wildfire rehabilitation. They write both Timber Management Plans and Non-Industrial Timber Management Plans (NTMP). They describe their process as working with the client to meet the objectives for the property. They can run a "turn-key" project from start to finish, or just give the landowner specific advice to save money, or do something in between. The company serves Nevada County and says it works with both local clients and "out of the region" clients. Peter Walden is a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) #2001 and a California Agricultural Pest Control Advisor (PCA) #07770. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to carry a harvest through the permitting, the marking, the sale and the cleanup afterward, rather than just a one-time opinion on what the trees are worth.

Cedar Creek Horselogging and Milling, also known as Cedar Creek Lumber, is a sawmill and logging outfit based in Nevada City, California. They've been at it for over 40 years, cutting and custom milling lumber for home and commercial jobs. They handle logging, milling, and some woodworking and retail too. Species they cut include cedar, pine, fir, oak, and madrone, in sizes from 1"x2" up to 8"x12" and lengths up to 30 feet. Their services cover a wide range: cedar siding, decking, barn siding and corral boards, rough cut and specialty cut lumber, flooring, paneling, fencing, timbers, garden boards, and custom milling of customer logs. They work in Nevada County. On why cedar matters to them, they note that "California Incense Cedar is prized for its resistant to rot and decay" and point to its "natural insect repellent properties" as part of what makes it good for siding, decking, and trim. This looks like a fit for a landowner near Nevada City who wants milling done on logs already down, or who's after cedar, pine, fir, oak, or madrone lumber cut to size for a building project, rather than someone looking for a standing timber sale handled start to finish.

They handle full logging services and equipment, mastication, defensible space work, and land clearing, and they also build logging roads as part of site work. On the harvest side they say "we can perform the entire harvest or a single phase," so you can hire them for the whole job from first call to logs at the mill, or just bring them in for one part of it. They hold a CSLB Class A/Haz license, number 322436. Their service area covers Northern California and Northern Nevada, and Nevada County is where they're rooted and where they're listed as serving. No species or tract size is spelled out, so you'd want to call and ask whether your parcel and your timber fit what they take on. This is a long-running, multi-service logging company suited to landowners in the Nevada City area who want one contractor able to run a harvest start to finish, including the access road and brush clearing that often come with it.

They've been at this a long time, "providing high quality wood products for nearly 70 years." They say they aim to "create both a product and reputation that will survive the test of time."

There's no stated minimum acreage, and no smallest job size to go by either, so it's worth a call to find out if your parcel is the kind of size they take on. This one suits a landowner in Nevada County who wants to deal with a long-running local mill directly, and who doesn't mind picking up the phone to get the specifics on species and process before moving forward.

Salvage Sawmill is a mill and timber buyer based in Nevada City, California. They take storm damaged, dead, or otherwise "in the way" trees and turn them into usable lumber, working with Cedar, Redwood, and all hardwoods. If you've got logs on the ground, they'll do log recovery, and if the logs are millable they'll remove them for free. To qualify, logs need to be relatively straight, free of decay, at least 16 inches in diameter, and 8 to 20 feet long, though they may take shorter pieces of unusual or burl wood. From there they offer portable mobile milling right at your site, using a mill that can handle logs up to 36 inches across and 21 feet long. If your job is smaller, you can also haul logs to their Penn Valley yard for on-site milling at a lower rate. Every job starts with a free on-site consultation to plan things out before they arrive. They also keep lumber in stock or will cut to order, and through a sister operation they build custom furniture from the wood they mill. They serve Nevada County, naming Grass Valley, Nevada City, Penn Valley, and Auburn along with the surrounding Northern California area as their working ground. This fits a landowner with a downed or dying tree, maybe storm damage or fire-thinning work, who wants to see that wood turned into something useful rather than hauled off or burned, especially if the logs are large enough to be worth milling.
