TWO TREES FORESTRY
About TWO TREES FORESTRY
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.

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.
