About J.H. Conkey and Sons Logging

J.H. Conkey and Sons Logging works out of Belchertown, Massachusetts, doing logging, buying standing timber, and forestry consulting. They've been at it since 1986, working with landowners across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Vermont. If you've got 15 or more wooded acres, they'll take a look. Their work covers forest management plans, selective timber harvesting, wildlife habitat improvement, timber appraisal, and general forestry consulting, including Chapter 61 questions. They're a cut-to-length outfit, meaning trees are limbed and cut to length right in the woods, and they leave the tops and branches behind to protect the ground and feed the soil. Their foresters are SAF and Massachusetts licensed, and the company holds Master Logger Certification. They describe their approach as "selective timber harvesting to promote healthier, more diverse forests." For a sale, they start with a timber valuation and a custom harvest plan, then carry it through to the final cut, tracking markets along the way so you get paid what the wood is worth at the time. They've managed work for private landowners as well as state agencies, and they belong to the Massachusetts Forest Alliance and the Ruffed Grouse Society. This fits a landowner in Hampshire County or nearby with a decent-sized woodlot, 15 acres or more, who wants a forester involved from the start and cares about what the land looks like after the loggers leave.
