TWO TREES FORESTRY
About TWO TREES FORESTRY
Two Trees Forestry is a consulting forestry business in Winthrop, Maine. They describe themselves plainly: "We serve as a landowner's forester, fiduciary, and agent exclusively." That means they work for you, not for a mill or a logger, when it comes time to sell timber. Their work covers planning management, harvesting timber, assisting timberland buyers, and managing town forests. On a harvest, they mark the trees to be cut, handle the sale, and monitor the logging operation for contract compliance. Landowners they work with generally sell under a pay-as-cut stumpage agreement, paid weekly as logs, pulpwood, firewood, or biomass chips go to mills. Fees are agreed upon in advance, usually a percentage of timber income. They say they never buy timber themselves for resale, to keep the arrangement free of conflict of interest. No stated minimum acreage turned up, but the smallest job described is a 22-acre harvest, the initial phase of a wildlife-focused plan for a land trust property. They hold a Maine forestry license (LF0000000993), and list membership in the Maine Board of Licensure of Foresters, the Society of American Foresters Ethics Committee, the Association of Consulting Foresters, and work as an inspector for the Maine Tree Farm Committee. The business was founded in 1984 by Mark Miller and incorporated in 1995, so it has been operating in Maine for decades. They work across Maine rather than naming specific counties. This fits a landowner in Maine who wants someone managing the sale on their side of the table, with the process spelled out in writing before any cutting starts.

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.
