About MK Timber Exporting and Appraisals, LLC
MK Timber Exporting and Appraisals, LLC is a timber harvesting and buying company based in Lacon, Illinois. They work with landowners in central Illinois who have black walnut, white oak, and other mature, desirable trees, and they pay you for the trees before the harvest starts. Here is how a sale runs: they meet you on your property, appraise what you have, and give you a quote. That same visit is also a chance to talk over forest management and best practices for your woods. If you accept the quote, they pay you for every tree slated for harvest, then they get to work. Their words: "when the quote is accepted, we pay you for all of the trees slated for harvest." They practice selective harvesting rather than clearcutting, taking the large, mature trees that have closed off the canopy, which lets light back down to the smaller trees and other plants below. They cover a roughly 60-mile radius out of Lacon, naming Marshall, Putnam, LaSalle, Livingston, McLean, Woodford, Tazewell, Fulton, Peoria, Knox, Stark, Henry, Bureau, and Mason counties. They state a minimum of 10 acres of wooded land, and they want it made up of several mature, desirable species like black walnut and white oak, not a single tree or two. In their own words, they "do not serve individuals outside of central Illinois, city residents or anyone with undesirable trees or single or small quantities of desirable trees." This fits a central Illinois landowner with a real stand of walnut or oak on 10 acres or more, who wants to be paid up front and is open to a selective cut rather than a clearcut.
