About White Elk Forestry LLC Christopher Scott
White Elk Forestry LLC Christopher Scott works with Colorado landowners who have ponderosa, lodgepole, or limber pine on their property. It's owner-operated, run by a former wildland firefighter, and fully insured. The work is forestry and tree care rather than timber buying: wildfire mitigation, defensible space, mountain pine beetle mitigation, hazard tree removal, storm and windblown cleanup, forest health and fuels reduction, and work in steep or hard-to-reach ground. For mountain pine beetle, the approach starts with a property assessment to find infested trees, judge which stands are vulnerable, and plan removal and proper handling before the next beetle flight. The business says it is "built for small & mid-sized properties" and describes itself as "specialized in difficult access," which matters if your acreage includes steep slopes or tough terrain that other outfits pass on. It serves Colorado generally, with named work in Larimer, Boulder, Gilpin, Jefferson, Clear Creek, Teller, Park, Douglas, and El Paso County. This fits a landowner on Colorado's Front Range dealing with beetle-killed or fire-risk pine on land that's awkward to get equipment into, who wants someone to walk the property, explain what's happening to the trees, and handle removal properly rather than just dropping wood and leaving.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
