Forestry Consultants

Maine Custom Woodlands is a timber harvesting and forest management company in Durham, Maine. They've been in business since 1993, working across Southern, Central, and Midcoast Maine, including Androscoggin County. They handle the whole job in-house, from the first lot walk to final cleanup. A licensed forester walks your property, talks over your goals, and puts together a harvest plan and proposal. If you go ahead, they flag the property lines themselves, so you don't need to hire a surveyor. Their crew then runs the harvest, which can be improvement thinning, a shelterwood or diameter limit harvest, or a clear cut, depending on what fits your woodlot. Species they mention working with include fir, spruce, cedar, and hemlock. Afterward, their own excavation crew comes back to smooth out the trails and landing. They also offer forestry mowing, grinding, and excavation work like driveways, ponds, and septic systems as separate services. They say they work with the Maine Natural Areas Program to check for endangered species or sensitive habitat before cutting. They ask for at least 20 wooded acres to take on a timber harvesting project. One landowner they worked with, in Woodstock, had about 50 acres and said the crew "always responded quickly to questions" and sent "detailed information about the trees' processing each week." This fits a landowner with a decent-sized wooded lot in Southern, Central, or Midcoast Maine who wants one company to handle the cutting, the paperwork, and the cleanup without bringing in outside contractors.

Maine Forestry is run by Michael Rochester, a licensed professional forester based in Deer Isle, Maine. He covers Aroostook County. The work covers timber cruising, thinning, and timber harvest supervision. Species he mentions working with include beech, yellow birch, pines, yellow poplar, sweetgum, cherry, maple, oak, hickory, sugar maple, and pulpwood. He describes his approach plainly: "if you need someone to supervise a timber harvest, I can help you with process from start to finish." He also offers to help landowners manage their woodland tax bills, saying "if you want to save money on your woodland taxes, I can help you greatly reduce them." There's no stated minimum acreage for taking on a job. This looks like a fit for an Aroostook County landowner who wants one person to walk a harvest from planning through supervision, and who's also thinking about what the tax side of owning timberland means for them.

Wadsworth Woodlands, Inc is a logging and forestry consulting business in Cornish, Maine. They handle timber harvesting along with consulting work like management plans, boundary line location, and timber cruising. Their harvest work starts with a free consultation, then they work out timing and logistics, things like whether the ground needs to be frozen or dry, where to put the log landing, and which subcontractor crew fits your woodlot best. They mark boundaries and timber before cutting, use fully insured contractors, and hand you accurate mill receipts so you can see what your wood sold for. On the consulting side they write Maine Tree Growth Plans and New Hampshire Stewardship Plans, do GPS/GIS mapping, and can help if you ever face a timber trespass. Their listed species is White Pine logs. They serve Maine and New Hampshire, and this listing shows them working York County. Their foresters are licensed in Maine and New Hampshire, and they note being a "Qualified Tree Farm Inspector" and a Board Member of the Maine Forest Product Council. The business has been running for over 22 years, a family operation out of Cornish. They say ten or more acres is enough to work with: "If you own ten or more acres in Maine or New Hampshire and are looking for timber harvesting or consulting services such as valuation or preparing a management plan-we can help." This fits a landowner who wants both the cutting handled and the paperwork side, taxes, plans, mapping, done by the same outfit. From wadsworthwoodlands.com, read 5 October 2026.

Prentiss & Carlisle is a forestry consulting and operations outfit based in Bangor, Maine, working out of 107 Court Street. They've been at this since 1924, and they cover timberland across Maine, including Penobscot County. They do full-service forest management and in-woods work. On the logging side they run cut-to-length, mechanical, and conventional harvesting crews, plus road and bridge building for harvest access, and utility line and easement clearing. Their own crews cut around 90,000 cords of timber a year. On the consulting side they handle timber sale administration, accounting and reporting, forest product marketing, regulatory compliance, timber inventory work, growth and yield modeling, and GIS mapping and analysis. They've completed inventory projects on more than 500,000 acres in the past five years. They're also a licensed real estate brokerage in Maine and Wisconsin, so they can help with land valuation and sales alongside timber. Their process is to set a management plan in motion and then stay on it: "our forestry team oversees, monitors, and adjusts," laying out harvest operations, checking compliance, and administering each contract so the value of the timber is looked after from planning through sale. This is a bigger, long-running operation built around full forest management rather than a single timber sale, so it suits a landowner who wants ongoing oversight of their woods, not just a one-time harvest.

Ted Wright Forest Services LLC is based in Brunswick, Maine, and works as a forestry consultant who also buys timber and logs land himself. Ted Wright is a native Mainer who has worked in the forestry community for over 25 years, including time as Executive Director of the Trust to Conserve Northeast Forestlands. He is a licensed forester in Maine and served five years on the Board of Directors for FSC, including as co-chair and on the policy and standards committee. The work he takes on covers a lot of ground: Maine Tree Growth Tax Law planning, forest management plans, NRCS technical service provider work, forest carbon market engagement, timber evaluations, recreation and wildlife enhancement, boundary lines, FSC certification consulting, and timber harvesting and timber sales. He serves Cumberland County. He describes himself as "an experienced forester and 8th generation Mainer" who is "dedicated to assisting landowners and loggers in the responsible management of their forest resources." If you're setting up a Forest Management Plan to qualify for Tree Growth Tax Law, he says that plan gets reviewed and updated every 10 years by a licensed forester, and he can build one for you or update an existing one. On his approach, he says he aims for "fair, honest, and responsible work that meet the social, environmental, and economic ethos of my clients." This fits a Maine landowner in Cumberland County who wants someone who can handle the tax law paperwork, the FSC certification side, and the actual timber sale or harvest, all from one person, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.

Two Trees Forestry is a forestry-consulting business in Portland, Maine, working with landowners in Cumberland County. They describe themselves plainly: "We serve as a landowner's forester, fiduciary, and agent exclusively." Their work covers planning and management, harvesting timber, helping timberland buyers, and managing town forests. They handle logs, pulpwood, firewood, and biomass chips. Most timber sales run as pay-as-cut stumpage agreements, where a logging contractor pays the landowner weekly for what gets delivered to mills, at prices agreed in advance. Fees for their own services are also set up front, generally as a percentage of timber income. Two Trees Forestry was founded in 1984 by Mark Miller and was incorporated in 1995. Harold Burnett joined in 1988 and holds membership with the Maine Board of Licensure of Foresters, serves on the Society of American Foresters' Ethics Committee, belongs to the Association of Consulting Foresters (and formerly chaired its Maine chapter), and works as an inspector for the Maine Tree Farm Committee. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job described on their pages is a 22-acre harvest, handled for a land trust property. This looks like a fit for a landowner in Cumberland County who wants a forester acting only on their behalf, with the sale structure and fees spelled out before any trees come down.

Two Trees Forestry is a consulting forestry business in Winthrop, Maine. They describe themselves plainly: "We serve as a landowner's forester, fiduciary, and agent exclusively." That means they work for you, not for a mill or a logger, when it comes time to sell timber. Their work covers planning management, harvesting timber, assisting timberland buyers, and managing town forests. On a harvest, they mark the trees to be cut, handle the sale, and monitor the logging operation for contract compliance. Landowners they work with generally sell under a pay-as-cut stumpage agreement, paid weekly as logs, pulpwood, firewood, or biomass chips go to mills. Fees are agreed upon in advance, usually a percentage of timber income. They say they never buy timber themselves for resale, to keep the arrangement free of conflict of interest. No stated minimum acreage turned up, but the smallest job described is a 22-acre harvest, the initial phase of a wildlife-focused plan for a land trust property. They hold a Maine forestry license (LF0000000993), and list membership in the Maine Board of Licensure of Foresters, the Society of American Foresters Ethics Committee, the Association of Consulting Foresters, and work as an inspector for the Maine Tree Farm Committee. The business was founded in 1984 by Mark Miller and incorporated in 1995, so it has been operating in Maine for decades. They work across Maine rather than naming specific counties. This fits a landowner in Maine who wants someone managing the sale on their side of the table, with the process spelled out in writing before any cutting starts.

Forest GEEK LLC is a forestry consulting business in Lee, Maine, run by Kyle Burdick. He works in Penobscot County. He writes Tree Growth Tax Law plans, NRCS Forest Management plans, Maine WRAP plans, and Tree Farm plans. In his own words, "Yes, I write Tree Growth Tax, NRCS, Maine WRAP, and Tree Farm Plans." He also offers Tree Growth Compliance and Tree Farm Plan Compliance as add-ons, and an expedited Tree Growth service with delivery within 30 days. NRCS plans are offered at a flat rate, with payment due when the plan is finished rather than after NRCS reimbursement comes through. If he takes on a harvest project, he charges by the hour for sale preparation and supervision. His NRCS Forest Management Plan starts at 10 to 99 acres, so that is the smallest job shown. He holds a Maine Forester License, is an SAF Certified Forester, and holds a Scalers License. He is a past Maine Chair of the Society of American Foresters, sits on the board of Maine Woodland Owners, and serves as a current inspector and facilitator for Maine Tree Farm. Before consulting full time, he spent nearly two decades managing large tracts of investment, conservation, and family forest land. This fits a landowner who needs a written forest management plan done to Tree Growth Tax, NRCS, or Tree Farm standards, more than someone just looking for a straightforward timber sale.

Central Maine Forestry is a forestry consulting business based in Readfield, Maine, serving landowners in Kennebec County. The license on record for this business is Maine license number LF0000000831, issued through the state's forester licensing system. Beyond the town, the county served, and that license, there isn't more detail here about the kinds of jobs taken on, species handled, or how a sale would run. For landowners in Kennebec County sorting through a short list of licensed consultants, this entry is useful mainly as a name and a license number to check against, a starting point for a phone call rather than a full picture of the work. Anyone weighing it against other consultants will want to ask directly about acreage, species, and how a job is priced before going further, since none of that is spelled out here. From maine.gov, read 11 October 2026.

Silver Maple Forestry is a consulting forestry business based in Appleton, Maine, serving landowners in midcoast Maine, including Knox County. It's "a small, family run business" started in 2023, and it holds a Maine forestry license. The work covers forest management planning, Tree Growth Tax Law assistance, NRCS management plans and cost-share practices, boundary line marking, shoreland zoning guidance, invasive plant plans, and general consulting. For timber sales, Silver Maple Forestry doesn't log the property itself. If a harvest fits the forest and the landowner's goals, it sets up the sale, handles the legal requirements and tree marking, and brings in a logging contractor to do the cutting. It charges hourly for timber sale work rather than taking a cut of the timber income, by the acre for management plans, and by the mile for boundary line marking. One of its principals is a Natural Resources Conservation Service TSP, qualified to write NRCS-funded plans, and the business is certified by the state of Maine to write Woodland Resource Action Plans under the WoodsWISE program. The other principal is a licensed arborist. Notably, "we have no ties to mills or logging companies," so the business says it works solely for the landowner, not for a buyer on the other side of the sale. This fits a midcoast Maine landowner who wants someone to manage the whole process on their behalf, from paperwork and boundary lines to lining up a logger, rather than a company that buys or cuts the timber itself. From silvermapleforestry.com, read 11 October 2026.

Coolong Land Surveys, Inc. is a forestry consulting and land surveying firm in Lincoln, Maine. They've offered professional land surveying and forestry services to clients since 1985. Their forestry work covers timber cruising, stand type classification, trespass cut estimates, timber marking, and forest management plans, including plans for Tree Growth Taxation. Timber marking can also be done "on very small lots for a desired woodland appearance," so this isn't a firm that only handles large tracts. They've served private, corporate and municipal clients in Penobscot, Washington and Southern Aroostook Counties, though TimberClear lists them for Penobscot County. Their license number with the state is LF0000000992. This is a small firm, and they say so themselves: "Because we are a small firm, each project receives the direct attention of the principals." They also point to licensed personnel on every project and direct communication between the principal and the client, rather than being routed through larger staff. Survey and mapping work is backed by robotic total stations, GPS, laser range finders, and computer aided drafting. This fits a landowner who wants a forester who also does land surveying, who likes the idea of dealing directly with the owner of the firm rather than a larger staff, and who may need a stand classification or timber marking job on a modest lot rather than a large commercial harvest.

LandVest, Inc. is a forestry consultant based in Bethel, Maine. It is listed under forestry consultants in the state's own registry, the kind of list a landowner can check before deciding who to call about timber on their property. Being on that list puts LandVest, Inc. among the forestry consultants the state of Maine recognizes by name and town. For someone who owns land with trees in or near Bethel, that is a starting point: a name tied to a place, filed under the right category, with nothing else attached to it yet. This listing suits a landowner near Bethel, Maine who wants a plain reference point among the state's registered forestry consultants, someone to note down and look into further before making any decision about a timber sale or a harvest on their own land. From landvest.com, read 11 October 2026.

Two Trees Forestry is a forestry consulting business based in Madison, Maine. They work with landowners in Somerset County, representing the landowner's side of a timber deal rather than buying wood themselves. The work covers planning management, harvesting timber, assisting timberland buyers, and managing town forests, with logs, pulpwood, firewood, and biomass chips passing through their sales. On a harvest, they put it this way: "We serve as a landowner’s forester, fiduciary, and agent exclusively." Landowners they work with generally sell to logging contractors under a pay-as-cut stumpage agreement, getting paid weekly for what the logger delivers to the mill. When the job is a town forest, they say they "auction municipal timber by inviting local loggers and mills to view the marked timber and bid on the harvest contract," to keep things above board. The business was founded in 1984 by Mark Miller and incorporated in 1995. Foresters there hold membership in the Maine Board of Licensure of Foresters, sit on the Society of American Foresters Ethics Committee, belong to the Association of Consulting Foresters with a past term as Maine chapter chair, and serve as an inspector for the Maine Tree Farm Committee. The smallest job described on their pages is a 22-acre harvest done for Androscoggin Land Trust, so that gives a sense of the scale they'll take on. This fits a landowner in Somerset County who wants someone acting strictly as their agent through a harvest, with the paperwork and the auction process handled for them rather than a direct sale to a logger.

SOUTHERN MAINE FORESTRY SERVICES is a forestry consulting business based in Parsonsfield, Maine, working out of North Windham. They handle the parts of a timber sale most landowners don't want to tackle alone: marking the trees to be cut, tallying the wood, finding a logger, negotiating the contract, and then staying on top of the job while it runs. They also do straight consulting work: woodlot assessments, forest management plans, timber appraisals for buying, selling, or settling a trespass, and help with Tree Growth Tax questions and forest mapping. On the land management side they do timber stand improvement, pre-commercial thinning, planting, pruning, and boundary work. Sales run by bid, either lump sum or by the MBF and ton. They mark the trees and lay out the skid trails first, then send the job out to bidders. The winning bidder has to post a bond or deposit before cutting starts, and on a lump sum bid, payment is due at signing or within ten days of the bid being accepted. They say they "contract only with very high quality loggers with proven track records," and describe themselves as "stickler's for detail when preparing a client's woodlot for sale." They work in York County and say they have "been in business for a long time." This fits a landowner who wants one firm to run the whole process, start to finish, bid by bid, rather than handle the marking, the logger, and the paperwork themselves.

Shelterwood Solutions is a forestry consulting business based in Bangor, Maine, run by David Irving, a Maine licensed professional forester. It's family-owned and has been going since 2007. The work covers forest management plans, timber harvest administration, wildlife habitat planning, timber stand improvement projects, woodlot assessments, timber volume and value appraisals, wildlife surveys, wetland delineations, and digital mapping with GPS and GIS software. If you're looking at a harvest, the business describes its role this way: "Shelterwood offers preparation and supervision services to protect and maximize your investment." That means handling the administration and oversight of a sale rather than buying the wood itself. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job mentioned is a 20 acre woodlot harvest, so that gives a sense of the scale this business has worked at. It serves Penobscot County and more broadly says it works "throughout Maine." David Irving holds Maine forester license #3249, is a Certified Tree Farm Inspector, and belongs to the Society of American Foresters. This fits a landowner in Penobscot County, or elsewhere in Maine, who wants one person handling the planning and the paperwork around a harvest, not just a quick stumpage quote.

LeBrun Forestry is a one-person consulting forestry practice run by Allen LeBrun out of Enfield, Maine. He holds a Maine Professional Foresters License, #483, and before setting up as a consultant he spent over 40 years in forest management with International Paper Company and American Forest Management across central and northern Maine. He works for the landowner, not for a mill or a buyer. His services cover enrolling or re-certifying land in the Maine Tree Growth Tax Program, timber inventory and valuation by species and size class, and full timber harvesting management, meaning "harvest planning, site layout, and supervision of all aspects of timber harvesting." He is also an approved forester for the WoodsWISE Stewardship Plan, a cost-shared state program for forest management planning, and he consults on Christmas tree growing, from planting through pest management and marketing. He serves Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Southern Aroostook Counties in central Maine, working out of his home address on Pelletier Drive in Enfield. This suits a landowner in that part of Maine who wants one forester to handle the paperwork side, the tree growth tax program, the inventory, and the harvest itself, rather than hiring separate people for each job.

Southern Maine Forestry Services is a forestry consulting business based in Turner, Maine, with an office in North Windham. They say their goal is "maximizing short and long-term income for our clients" while relieving them of the often complex tasks tied to a timber sale. They cover the full run of a timber sale: pre-harvest woodlot marking, volume tallies, logger contracting and negotiation, logger monitoring and supervision, timber utilization, marketing and mill negotiation, and record-keeping and reporting. On the consulting side they do timber cruises and woodlot assessments, forest management plans, timber purchase and sale appraisals, tree growth tax planning, timber tax and depletion appraisals, forest mapping, investment counsel, and timber trespass opinions. They also take on land management jobs such as planting, pruning, marking, pre-commercial thinning, and boundary maintenance. When a sale goes to bid, timber is sold either lump sum or by per MBF and ton, bidders are required to post a bond or deposit before starting work, and payment on a lump sum bid is due at signing or within ten days of accepting the bid. Rene D. Noel, Jr. is the forester who signs off on these sales. They say they contract only with "very high quality loggers with proven track records" and that they are "stickler's for detail when preparing a client's woodlot for sale," marking trees and laying out skid trails to limit damage to what's left standing. They describe themselves as having been in business for a long time. This suits a landowner who wants one party to run the whole process, from marking the trees to picking the logger to handling the paperwork and the check. From someforest.com, read 11 October 2026.

LANDVEST, INC. is listed under forestry-consultants, based in Bangor, Maine. That is the category the state uses for people who advise landowners on the trees on their land, rather than loggers who cut the wood themselves or mills who buy logs outright. Beyond the name, the town, and that category, there isn't more detail on hand about how LandVest, Inc. runs a job, what species it works with, or what parts of Maine it covers. There's no stated minimum acreage either, so a landowner with a smaller lot and one with fifty acres would both need to call and ask directly what the firm takes on. For someone in or near Bangor who wants a forestry consultant to start a conversation with before anything else happens on their land, this listing is a name and a place to begin. It suits a landowner who wants to do their own asking rather than finding every detail laid out ahead of time. From landvest.com, read 11 October 2026.

Forest Land Improvement is a forestry consulting firm based in Ossipee, New Hampshire, working with landowners across eastern New Hampshire and Western Maine. It got its start in 1976 and has been at this a long time, originally out of Chocorua Village in Tamworth before the office moved to Ossipee. The work covers most anything a landowner might need done on their woodlot: forest management plans, timber inventories and appraisals, timber sale marking and supervision "as the Landowner's Agent," boundary maintenance, GIS mapping, woods road layout, current use and tree growth tax paperwork, wetlands permitting, timber trespass investigations, tree planting, and conservation easement planning. The business says it is "here to help you get the most out of your property," whether that means timber production, wildlife habitat, recreation, or aesthetics. Beyond private landowners, it also manages town forests for several New Hampshire municipalities, including Conway, Jackson, Madison, Albany, Gilford, Brookfield, Barrington, Moultonborough, and Dover, and has worked for conservation groups such as The Nature Conservancy and the Lakes Region Conservation Trust. The forester running things now, Timothy Nolin, is a Licensed Forester in both New Hampshire and Maine, a Technical Service Provider with NRCS, and a Tree Farm Inspector. He grew up on a working farm in Moultonborough and has been with the company since the mid-1990s. This is a fit for a landowner in that eastern New Hampshire or Western Maine corner who wants someone to handle a timber sale as their agent, sort out tax paperwork, or put together a full management plan rather than just get wood cut.

Reader Forest Management LLC is a forestry consulting business in North Waterboro, Maine. Brian Reader runs it; he worked as a consultant forester, mostly for Wadsworth Woodlands, until 2015, when he started the company on his own. The work covers the full range a landowner might need: forest management plans, boundary line reconnaissance and maintenance, timber cruising, mapping, timber harvest administration, forest products marketing, and timber trespass valuation. When a harvest is planned, Reader Forest Management "works with the landowner and logger to ensure a successful job." Boundary lines get marked, trees to be cut are marked with blue paint, and the company handles contracts and permits with the state and town. Through the job, they check in regularly and arrange walk-throughs if the landowner wants one. They also market the wood themselves, and "pay the landowner weekly and promptly" once the harvest is underway. The business serves York County, and more broadly Maine and New Hampshire. This one suits a landowner who wants a single point of contact handling the paperwork, the marking, the marketing, and the mill relationships, rather than juggling those pieces alone.

Timberland Consultants is a forestry consulting business in Nobleboro, Maine, run by David Schaible. He's a Maine Licensed Professional Forester with a B.S. in Forest Management from the University of Maine at Orono, and he worked as a District Forester for the Maine Forest Service from 1971 to 1982 before starting this business in 1982. That means he's been at it for over 27 years. The work covers woodland evaluation, management advice and planning, woodlot harvesting recommendations and timber sale administration, timber inventory and appraisal, tax matters including the Maine Tree Growth Tax Law, boundary location and marking, wildlife habitat improvement, expert testimony in litigation, and help with environmental law compliance. He says he works "without any ties, contracts or obligations to any purchasers of wood products," which matters if you want someone in your corner and not the mill's. He serves landowners primarily in Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Kennebec, Androscoggin, Waldo and Cumberland Counties. The stated minimum is 10 acres, with woodland management services offered up to 1,000 acres. This fits a landowner in Lincoln County or nearby who wants a forester handling the planning, the tax questions, and the sale administration end to end, rather than someone who just wants a quote on standing timber.

Wadsworth Woodlands is a logging and forestry consulting business based in Hiram, Maine, with an office on Main Street in Cornish. They handle timber harvesting, consulting, and land management for landowners in Maine and New Hampshire. The work covers harvest plan development, boundary line location, timber marking and trail layout, marketing timber products, logger contracting and logging supervision, forest management plans, timber cruising, GPS/GIS mapping, timber tax depletion accounting, timber trespass determination, and boundary line maintenance. They name White Pine logs among the products they handle. Payment runs on a "Pay as you cut" basis, with wood scaled at the mill and the sawmill payment passed through Wadsworth Woodlands to the contractor and the landowner. They say landowners need "ten or more acres in Maine or New Hampshire" to use their harvesting or consulting services, so ten acres is their stated starting point. Their foresters are Licensed Professional Foresters in Maine and New Hampshire and Qualified Tree Farm Inspectors, one also a Licensed Real Estate Agent and Realtor in Maine and a Board Member of the Maine Forest Product Council. The business has been operating for over 22 years and is still run by the family that started it. This fits a landowner in Maine or New Hampshire with at least ten acres who wants one business to handle the harvest, the paperwork, and the tax filings together.
