Their main business is taking downed trees, the kind lost to storms, disease, or development, and milling them into lumber instead of letting them be chipped or wasted.

They work with White Oak, Red Oak, Black Walnut, Ash, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Hackberry, Honey Locust, and thermally modified wood. Their offerings include kiln dried dimensional hardwood, customized milling, beams, timbers, and live edge slabs. They are based at 6350 Industrial Drive in Eden Prairie and say they serve Hennepin County, describing themselves as offering "the convenience and responsiveness local tree companies and homeowners need" close to home. Storm Trees was established in 2023. This fits a landowner in the Eden Prairie area who has downed or storm-damaged trees and wants them turned into usable lumber rather than hauled off as waste, especially someone drawn to hardwoods like oak or walnut and who values seeing the wood's story carried through to a finished board.

How much is my timber worth in Hennepin 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 Hennepin 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.
