Questions landowners ask
How many independent loggers are there in Louisiana?
73 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Office of Forestry official Consulting Foresters of Louisiana list, together with the Forestry Products Network mill directory, covering 28 counties between them.
How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
