About Ted Wright Forest Services LLC
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.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
