Trinity River Lumber Co is a sawmill in Weaverville, California. It is not set up to walk your woods and mark trees, it is the mill end of the business, the place logs go to become lumber. It has a Log Procurement department, so buying logs is part of how it runs, but no timber buying or marking service is described beyond that. The mill saws Douglas Fir and White Fir logs into green 2x4 lumber, in random lengths up to 20 feet, along with Hem Fir products, for the California housing market. George Schmidbauer retooled the Weaverville mill into this kind of operation, and the business describes itself as "a full scale softwood mill" "specializing in 2″ and 4″ wane free home center products." It has been locally owned and operated since 1983. It serves Trinity County. No minimum tract size is given, and no log buying jobs with acreage are described, so there's nothing here to size up a small sale against. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut or a logger ready to haul, and wants to know where those logs can go, not someone still looking for a forester to walk the property first.

How much is my timber worth in Trinity 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Trinity 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.
