Holzfaller LLC is a forestry consulting business based in Williams, Minnesota, working timberland across the state and serving Koochiching County. They handle the full range of forestry work: stewardship plans, forest inventory, timber appraisal, reforestation, timber stand improvement, food plot work, land assessment, and timber harvesting itself. They also buy timber and do land buying. On the harvest side, they put together a harvest plan with you, send a Timber Sale Bid Invitation out to a list of potential bidders, and once a bid is accepted they draw up a contract, hold a pre-harvest meeting with the loggers, and check in on the site while work is underway. Payment is tracked either through a load ticket system at the mill or, on more uniform stands, by appraised volume. They mention working with dwarf mistletoe, larch beetle, diplodia, buckthorn, and Emerald Ash Borer in ash stands as forest health issues on Minnesota land. For a Stewardship Plan, they say a property should be "at least 20 acres of forested land." That's the number to know if your woods are on the smaller side. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to walk the whole process, from a stewardship plan and health issues like EAB, through to getting bids out on an actual harvest.

Itasca Woodland Services, Inc. is a forestry consulting outfit based in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, in Itasca County. They've been doing this since 1988, working with landowners who have wooded land and want help sorting out what to do with it. Their work covers Woodland Stewardship Plans, timber harvest administration, timber appraisals, pre-commercial thinning, brush sawing, non-survey property marking, fire risk assessments, forest inventory, drone services, and wildlife management. The species they mention working with are Aspen, Red Pine, and Conifer. On a timber sale, they describe themselves as "Acting solely as agents for you," meeting you on your land, listening to your goals, and using a competitive bidding process to "capture the best possible price for your timber products." They also say they monitor the harvest through ongoing contact with the logger and site visits while the work is underway. Itasca Woodland Services states a minimum of 20 acres of all or partially wooded land in Minnesota to qualify for their services. Their office sits in Itasca County, and they say they serve 25 counties across greater northern and central Minnesota, Itasca among them. They note membership tied to the Association of Consulting Foresters, the Society of American Foresters, and the Master Logger Education Program. This fits a landowner in northern or central Minnesota with at least 20 wooded acres who wants a forester to run the sale process from start to finish rather than handling it alone.

Bois Forte Forestry is a forestry department of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, based in Nett Lake, near Orr, Minnesota, in Koochiching County. It is not a company that buys or sells timber for landowners. It is the tribe's own forestry program, managing forested tribal and allotment lands within the boundary of the Bois Forte reservation. The work it does includes forest stand development after a harvest or disturbance, such as soil scarification to help pine regenerate, aerial seeding, or brush removal so seedlings can compete. It keeps a forest inventory and maps using what it calls "state of the art inventory equipment," watches for forest pests like emerald ash borer and gypsy moth, and administers timber sales on tribal and allotment land so that "loggers harvest in a desirable and sustainable manner." It also does wildlife habitat work, such as leaving cedar stands as winter deer yards, and handles fire prevention and suppression around the Nett Lake area, including brush removal, burn permits, and equipped vehicles for fire response. Its timber sales serve tribal and allotment landowners on Bois Forte lands, and the benefits it describes go to the tribal government and allottees, not to the general public selling private timber. There is no stated minimum acreage, and no job size to infer one from, since its timber sales are tied to specific tribal and allotment parcels rather than open jobs taken on for any landowner. This listing suits someone trying to understand what the Bois Forte forestry department does on reservation land, not a private landowner in Koochiching County looking for a buyer, logger, or consultant for their own acreage.

Timber Cat Forestry is a forestry consulting business based in Winona, Minnesota, run by Andrew Beebe. They work across Wisconsin and Minnesota, handling the paperwork side of owning woods as well as the on-the-ground work. On the planning side they write Managed Forest Law (MFL) plans for Wisconsin land, 2C plans for Minnesota land, and general stewardship plans built around what you want from your property. When it comes time to sell, they offer timber sale assistance and describe sustainable timber harvesting as "a cornerstone" of what they do, working within silviculture practice so the land regenerates after a cut. They also do mapping and timber appraisal, invasive species control, timber stand improvement, trail work, tree planting, and wildlife habitat work. Andrew calls his team "hands on Foresters" and he's built a network of loggers and stewardship practitioners, all insured, who take on projects of different sizes. Andrew holds a dual degree in Forestry and Wildlife Ecology from Michigan Technological University, earned in 2011, and has been consulting in the greater Driftless area since 2017. He's a member of the Society of American Foresters and a Cooperating Forester with both the Wisconsin and Minnesota DNR. The business covers Winona County and works across Wisconsin and Minnesota more broadly. This fits a landowner who wants one contact for both the plan and the cutting, someone who leans on forestry credentials and a working network rather than running a big crew of their own.
