Independent Loggers

Kimball & Sons Logging is a logging business in Poland, Maine, run by Randy Kimball, whose father started it in 1989. They do cut to length timber harvesting, where the tree is cut and processed right in the woods and the brush is left behind rather than chipped, to help protect the trail the wood gets hauled out on. They also do forestry mulching, trail clearing, lot clearing, storm damage clean up, invasive species removal, under brush removal and post harvest clean up. They take on selective harvests of 10 or more acres. Their crew is Master Logger Certified and they say they are fully insured and accredited. On a job, they say they personally identify each species and assess the quality and value of every tree that comes to the landing before it goes out. They serve Androscoggin, Cumberland, Oxford, and Sagadahoc Counties in central and southern Maine. Kimball & Sons Logging has been doing this since 1989, when Randy's father started the company with, as Randy puts it, "nothing more than a chainsaw and a cable skidder." Randy became an equal partner in 2014 and the operation is now fully mechanized. This fact sheet doesn't mean they'd turn down a smaller job. They arencompany in Poland, Maine. If It's a family-run outfitle wot. This fits best for a landowner with 10 or more acres who wants a selective harvest done with care for the soil and trail, rather than a quick clear cut, and who also might have other work like storm clean up or invasive brush to deal with.

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.

William A. Day Jr. & Sons Logging & Firewood is a family-owned logging company in Porter, Maine. They've been at it for over 30 years, cutting wood across Maine and New Hampshire.

They cut sawlogs and pulp, in hardwood and softwood, including pine, spruce fir, yellow birch, white pine, birch, oak, cherry, and maple. If you're selling timber, they say to get everything in a contract first, hire an insured logger, and spell out how the trees will be managed and how any logging trails will be handled. They work across Maine and New Hampshire, with work shown in Oxford County. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job they show is a 40 acre property in the western mountains, where the owner said the crew's professionalism was "exceptional." This is a fit for landowners with a parcel of some size, at least 40 acres by their own example, who want one outfit to handle the cutting, the trucking, and the timber sale itself.

Gilpatrick & Sons is a sawmill, logging outfit, and timber buyer in Richmond, Maine. They've been at it since 1973, starting out logging and selective cutting of wood lots in Central Maine, and adding the sawmill and propane side of things in 1985. If you've got a wood lot that needs thinning or a selective harvest, that's their main work alongside the milling. They cut and sell rough hemlock, pine (rough and finished), and cedar, so if your land has those species standing, they're set up to handle it. Their woodlot management and selective harvest services cover a 25 mile radius of Richmond, including Augusta, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Gardiner, Dresden, and Litchfield. They note they're "CPL Certified." There's no acreage minimum stated on their pages, so it's worth a call to Gilpatrick & Sons at 207-737-2090 to ask whether your particular lot fits what they take on. This one suits a landowner in or near Richmond, Maine who wants someone doing both the logging and the milling under one roof, especially if hemlock, pine, or cedar are what's growing on the property.

For a timber sale, they describe working "from selective harvesting to lot clearing," and they also handle "cabling and trimming to removal of hazardous trees in inaccessible areas" if you've got arbor work mixed in with your woodland. They offer a free consultation to start things off, so you can talk through what you have before committing to anything. There's no minimum tract size stated on their pages. No tree species are named either, so if you've got a particular stand in mind, that's a conversation to have directly. This fits a landowner in Kennebec County who wants one outfit that can do a harvest, clear a lot, and handle hazardous trees or storm damage, all under one roof.

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.
