Timber Harvesting
About Timber Harvesting
Timber Harvesting (Northland Habitat LLC) is a forestry consulting firm in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. Its listed county is Dakota, and it works with Minnesota property owners who want to understand their land's full potential. Northland Habitat began on a family farm in northwest Minnesota. The firm takes no logs itself. For a timber sale, the firm walks you through the work: working out how much timber is there, valuing it, finding a suitable logger, writing the contract, marking the harvest boundaries, and overseeing the cut. It also sets up private timber sales and prescribes the kind of harvest that fits your goals, whether clearcutting, a seed tree or selective harvest, or a shelterwood. The rule of the work is "We work for the landowner. Not the logger." A woodland stewardship plan needs a property that is, or will be, at least 20 acres of forested land. Credentials include Minnesota Certified Stewardship Plan Writer, Wisconsin certified plan writer, QDMA Deer Steward 1 and 2, Minnesota Tree Inspector Certification, Wildland Fire Certification, and Private Pesticide Applicator Certification. The founder, Jaden Bjorklund, has worked for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the National Deer Association, and the firm has written management plans for over 300 landowners. This suits a landowner in Dakota County or elsewhere in Minnesota who wants a forester working for them through a timber sale, rather than a buyer making the offer.

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.
