Poignant Logging
About Poignant Logging
Poignant Logging is a timber buyer and logging company based in Lacon, Illinois, right along the Illinois River. They buy standing timber and logs, and also do the logging work themselves. It's a family business, run by LeRoy Poignant and now his son Grant, going back to 1991. They focus on Walnut, White Oak, Red Oak, Maple, Cherry, and Sycamore, buying veneer quality saw logs and standing timber. The work includes standing timber purchasing, sustainable forestry and logging, selective harvest hardwood management, and reforestation afterward. They say they'll "only select timber that is mature and ready for harvest," leaving younger trees to grow. Their stated goal is "to leave your land in better shape than we found it." They serve Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, with Marshall County, Illinois named as an area they cover, and a second location in Whitesboro, Texas. They also export veneer and hardwood logs, including abroad. This fits a landowner with Walnut or White Oak on the property who wants a buyer that handles both the purchase and the logging, and who values a long-running, hands-on family operation rather than a broker passing the job along to someone else.
