Stevens Forestry, LLC
About Stevens Forestry, LLC
Stevens Forestry, LLC is a consulting forestry business based in Alpena, Michigan, working with landowners across the state. Christian Stevens is the forester behind it, a Candidate Certified Forester who holds a forestry degree from Michigan Technological University and has also worked in timber procurement, utility vegetation management, and federal conservation programs. The business describes its purpose plainly: "Helping forest landowners devise and implement responsible goals for woodland stewardship." The work covers forest management plans, timber sales, forest inventories, and timber valuations. Species mentioned include red pine sawtimber, aspen pulpwood, oak, and other hardwoods. For a timber sale, the process runs from evaluating your timber and marking a harvest, through coordinating buyers and inviting competitive bids, to overseeing the logging itself and handling the sale contract and paperwork. Valuations can be scaled up or down, from a quick ballpark figure to a detailed cruise for legal or tax purposes, and inventories can be sized to a small woodlot or a large tract. No stated minimum acreage was found, but the business lists a timber sale it has handled, the Brian Kuhr Timber Sale, as an example of its work. Stevens Forestry serves Alpena County and says it has worked with landowners, loggers, and agencies throughout Michigan. This fits a Michigan landowner who wants one forester to walk a timber sale from valuation through to the final check, rather than hiring separate people for each step.

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.
