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.

Inland Forest Management is a consulting forestry outfit based in Sandpoint, Idaho, working in Bonner County. They've been doing this since 1984. They don't log your trees or own a sawmill, "we are not affiliated with a sawmill or logging company," so their job is to work for you, not for a buyer on the other end of the sale. The work covers the whole range of what a timber owner might need: forest management plans, timber valuation, timber harvest oversight, timber cruising and appraisals, forest tax planning, reforestation, forest stand thinning, wildlife habitat work, conservation easements, absentee landowner representation, and insect and disease checks. They handle white pine, western larch, ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, grand fir, and western white pine. If you're not sure what a healthy stand should look like or what your timber is worth, this is the kind of outfit that walks the ground with you, writes a plan, and then helps carry a harvest or a sale through from start to finish. They describe their role plainly: "our first obligation is to them," meaning the landowner, not a mill or a logger looking for board feet. That's worth knowing if you've never sold timber before and don't want to feel like the last person in the room to find out what your trees were worth. This fits a landowner in or near Bonner County who wants a forester in their corner for the planning and the paperwork, not just someone to mark trees and leave.

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.

Hunt Logging & Excavation LLC is a logging contractor out of Oldtown, Idaho, serving Bonner County. They are a "third-generation logger," a family-owned outfit, and they take on more than just timber harvesting. Alongside logging, they handle excavation, land clearing, fire prevention work, hazardous tree removal, storm cleanup, and road construction. So if your property needs a road put in to get the logs out, or you've got dangerous trees after a storm, this is a business that covers that ground rather than sending you elsewhere. They describe themselves as having "advanced tools and machinery to tackle projects of any size." There's no stated minimum acreage, and no smallest job size given either, so landowners with smaller parcels may want to call and ask directly whether their property fits what they take on. No tree species are named on their pages, so check with them about what's on your land before you get started. They've been doing this since 2018. This looks like a fit for a landowner in Bonner County who wants one contractor to handle the timber sale and the cleanup, road work, or land clearing that often comes with it, rather than juggling separate crews for each job.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Bonner County?

17 businesses are listed for Bonner County: 3 consulting foresters and 14 buyers, loggers and mills. 12 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Bonner 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 Bonner 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.

What is timber worth in Bonner County?

No price series is published for Bonner County on its own. Idaho's latest published stumpage figures (Idaho State Tax Commission harvest values, 2026) put cedar at $741–$893 per thousand board 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.
