Laclede, ID
free tree check-up

Idaho Forest Group Laclede is a sawmill in Laclede, Idaho, part of Idaho Forest Group, which also buys timber, runs logging, and offers forestry consulting. The company is headquartered at 687 W. Canfield Ave., Suite 100, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, phone (208) 762-6630. They describe their work this way: "Idaho Forest Group grows, harvests, manufactures and distributes this incredible, sustainable product called wood." They take Douglas Fir, Western Larch, Grand Fir, Western Hemlock, Lodgepole Pine, White Pine, Englemann Spruce, Sub-Alpine Fir, Ponderosa Pine, and Western Red Cedar. They serve Bonner County. For landowners thinking about a sale, they offer a "free tree check-up," where a forester from one of their five Idaho mills looks over your property, whether you want to protect your trees, generate income, or keep them for the family down the road. They state a minimum of 10 acres, asking landowners directly: "Do you have more than 10 acres of timberland?" This fits a landowner in Bonner County with a mixed stand of the species above who wants a mill-connected forester to walk the property before deciding anything, rather than someone with just a few acres or land outside their service area.

timber cruisingestate timber appraisalforest planstimber harvest planlogging+1 more

JD Forest Management, LLC is a forestry consulting outfit based in Priest River, Idaho. They also log timber themselves and buy timber, so they can walk you through the whole thing from a landowner's standpoint, not just hand you off to someone else partway through. Their foresters hold four-year degrees and will put together a harvest plan built around your property, then run the operation, logging, hauling, and marketing logs to sawmills. They work with western larch, white pine, ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, western redcedar, grand fir, cedar, and hemlock. Beyond harvests, they do timber cruising, estate timber appraisals, forest plans (including the NRCS Technical Service Provider work), reforestation, tree planting, seedling sales, and burn reforestation. A sale or job starts with a site visit where a forester talks through your goals, then they lay out the steps and pricing before anything moves forward. They use written contracts drafted by attorneys and say they are insured and require proof of insurance from contractors. They state a minimum of 10 acres, saying "no project is too big" and that they can handle a property "no matter if it's 10 acres or 1,000 acres." They've been managing private forestland in the area for over 40 years and currently manage more than 20,000 acres, working across Bonner County and a long list of other northern Idaho, eastern Washington, and northwestern Montana counties. This fits a landowner with at least 10 acres who wants one forestry outfit to handle planning, logging, and paperwork together, rather than lining up separate people for each piece.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers are there in Idaho?

8 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Idaho forestry register, covering 5 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
