About Reynwood Forest Mgt., Inc.
Reynwood Forest Mgt., Inc. is a forestry consulting firm based in Flintstone, Maryland. They work with landowners on forest management plans, timber sales, timber stand improvement, and wildlife habitat work, and they also buy timber. Species they mention working with include cherry, poplar, ash, oak, walnut, and sugar maple. On a timber sale, they mark and select which trees come out, lay out haul roads and log landings, write up a sediment and erosion control plan, draw up the timber sale contract, do regular inspections during the job, and provide the timber basis for your income tax return. For timber stand improvement they handle pre-commercial thinning, cutting harmful vines, pruning high value trees up to 17 feet, and knocking back invasive plants. They describe their approach to marking a first thinning as removing the "crooked, diseased, and low quality trees" so what's left is worth a logger's time, with later cuts such as a shelterwood or a deferment harvest depending on your goals. They serve Allegany County and describe their service area as Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. Juls Wood holds Maryland Licensed Forester #665, has a 1978 forest resource management degree from WVU, and belongs to the Society of American Foresters, the Allegany County Forestry Board, and the American Tree Farm System as a certified inspector. Dan Hedderick is also a licensed forester in Maryland, with a forest science degree from Penn State and over 30 years with the Maryland DNR Forest Service. This fits a landowner who wants a plan behind the harvest, not just a quick cut, and who likes knowing exactly who is marking trees on their land and why.

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.
