Hamilton, MI

NWH buys logs and standing timber, and also works with logging crews to get the harvest done. They're listed out of Hamilton, Michigan, and the work here covers Allegan County. They say it plainly: "We want to buy your logs & standing timber." On the timber side they're after Ash, Basswood, Cherry, Chestnut Oak, Hard Maple, Hickory, Poplar, Red Oak, Soft Maple, Walnut, White Oak, and Yellow Birch, among others. Their process runs in four steps: they consult and evaluate your timber, give you a detailed estimate, put together an agreement with payment terms, then harvest. They describe that last step as "respect for your land," with the harvest done to meet your state's Best Management Practices. They ask for a minimum of 10 acres to harvest, by their own account: "We work closely with landowners who have a minimum of 10 acres to harvest to evaluate your timber and understand your land's unique needs." The company traces back to 1967, when it started out as a supplier of North American hardwood lumber, and it now runs as part of a larger operation with a Dallas head office alongside its Michigan buying work. This fits a landowner with 10 acres or more of mixed hardwoods who wants a straightforward buyer-and-logger setup rather than a standalone consulting forester. From nwh.com, read 4 October 2026.

How much is my timber worth in Allegan County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Allegan County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
