Timberland Consulting, LLC
About Timberland Consulting, LLC
Timberland Consulting, LLC is a forestry consulting firm in Plainfield, Indiana. It serves central Indiana, counties throughout the state, and other areas across the Midwest. The firm is a member of the Indiana Association of Consulting Foresters, holds ACF certification, and is a licensed Cat 2 applicator for invasive plant work. Timber sales are a central part of the work. A forester walks the property with you, marks and appraises the timber, and writes a sale prospectus that goes out to the firm's network of buyers. Sales are bid competitively, the forester prepares the contract between you and the buyer, and then the forester oversees the harvest. The firm presents itself as an advocate for the landowner, since most sellers know less about timber value than buyers do. The rest of the work covers timber stand improvement, invasive plant control, forestry mulching, tree planting, forest management plans, Rx burns, drone mapping, appraisals, and plantation management. Forest management plans can be written to apply for USDA EQIP cost-share funds. Appraisals are done for estate planning, property sales, or after a death. Timberland Consulting, LLC suits a landowner who wants one forester to handle a timber sale from start to finish, and who may want thinning, mulching, or replanting done on the same land afterward.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
