About Timber Cat Forestry
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.

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.
