Outlaw Forestry
About Outlaw Forestry
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.

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.
