Kingdom Timber & Lumber is a sawmill in Green Valley, Illinois, run by Steven Nash out on IL RT 29. The family has been at this a long time, over 50 years by their own count, with Steven's father James having started the business and the whole family working the mill at one point or another, cutting, logging, skidding, loading, hauling, or in the office. The work covers more than milling. They do logging, local tree clearing, and they build crane mats, digging mats, and laminated mats, along with custom sawing, green lumber orders, and stave lumber cut from white oak for wine and whiskey barrels. They also sell sawdust, mulch, and firewood as byproducts. They work with "All Native Species of Wood and Lumber," and lean on hardwood for mats and barrel stock. They note international exporting as part of what they handle too, alongside domestic and commercial orders. They serve Central Illinois out of Tazewell County, and say they buy lumber locally rather than standing timber. Steven describes keeping "pricing on the low side not to out bid others but to be a blessing to those who use our services," and offers a free consultation if you call with questions. This looks like a fit for a landowner near Green Valley who wants hardwood milled, mats built, or land cleared, more than someone looking to sell standing timber outright.

How much is my timber worth in Tazewell 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.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Tazewell 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.
