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.

How much is my timber worth in Winona 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 Winona 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.
