Outlaw Forestry is a forestry and land-management business based in Eagle, Colorado, run by an ISA Certified Arborist (RM-8231A). They work on ranches, estates and larger mountain properties, doing wildfire mitigation and defensible space work, lot clearing and site planning, selective forest thinning, wildlife habitat enhancement, beetle-kill and disease management, custom trail building, and long-term stewardship planning. The trees they talk about are Douglas fir, blue spruce, pinon and ponderosa pine, aspen, and lodgepole. They describe their approach as building "multi-year stewardship plans" instead of running blanket logging on a property, and they say "Low-Impact Execution: Heavy machinery shouldn't leave heavy scars" when it comes to how they handle equipment on a site. Work starts with a walk or drive around the property, sometimes with a drone pass to map game trails and thick understory, then a plan built around the landowner's own priorities, carried out over several years rather than all at once. They serve Eagle, Pitkin, Summit, Garfield and Routt counties, covering Vail, Aspen, Steamboat Springs, Glenwood Springs and the surrounding mountain communities. This fits a landowner with a larger ranch or legacy property in Eagle, Pitkin, Summit, Garfield or Routt county who wants wildfire mitigation and habitat work handled by one arborist-led crew over several years, rather than a one-time timber sale.

How much is my timber worth in Eagle 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 Eagle 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.

Colorado's latest published stumpage figures (USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Region, 2025) put engelmann spruce, lodgepole and mixed conifer sawtimber at $5–$8.2 per hundred cubic feet. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
