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.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Cumberland County?

7 businesses are listed for Cumberland County: 1 consulting forester and 6 buyers, loggers and mills. 7 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Cumberland 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 Cumberland 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 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.
