Eagle Lake, ME
timber cruisingthinningtimber harvest supervision

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.

Bridgewater, ME
production of eastern white cedar lumberrough lumber productslog home componentsspecialty lumber

J & J Cedar Mill, Inc. is a sawmill in Bridgewater, Maine, in Aroostook County. It's family owned, and it specializes in eastern white cedar and northern white cedar lumber, mainly for the fence industry, the log home industry, and related markets. The mill buys raw material from local forestry operations in the area and from across the border in New Brunswick, Canada. Most of what comes in arrives as tree length, though they also purchase some log length. From there it's processed into lumber of all sizes, lengths, and grades, including rough and dressed lumber, fence posts, decking and siding, and log home timbers and squares. Much of what they produce is sold wholesale and finished further by other companies, though they also handle smaller retail orders. The business started in the summer of 1995, when two brothers, Jake and Jerry, set out sawing what they call "one of the most difficult species in the north Maine woods." They've rebuilt the mill more than once over the years after fires, and the operation today runs with multiple employees. This one suits a landowner in Aroostook County with white cedar to sell, especially if you're thinking fence posts, log home timbers, or other cedar products rather than mixed hardwood sawtimber.

Portage, ME

Maine Woods Co, in Portage, Maine, runs a hardwood sawmill and dry line. They buy and process hard maple, yellow birch, soft maple, white ash, and bird's eye and flame birch, turning logs into rough dimension stock and surfaced lumber. Their work carries FSC® certification. They describe themselves as "the largest single manufacturer of hard maple lumber in the northeast," and say their mill is known for "producing some of the whitest wood in the region." This is a mill built around volume and grade, not a small custom shop, so a landowner selling a stand of hard maple or birch is looking at a buyer set up to take real quantity and turn it into finished lumber on site. They serve Aroostook County, where their mill sits on Fish Lake Road. This fits a landowner in Aroostook County with a solid stand of northern hardwoods, hard maple especially, who wants a mill buyer rather than a logger or forester, and who values certification on the wood that leaves the land.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Aroostook County?

11 businesses are listed for Aroostook County: 1 consulting forester and 10 buyers, loggers and mills. 6 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Aroostook County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Aroostook County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.

What is timber worth in Aroostook County?

No price series is published for Aroostook County on its own. Maine's latest published stumpage figures (Maine Forest Service, 2024) put red oak at $293 per thousand board feet. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
