Selling Timber in Deer Lodge County, MT

Martelli Forestry is a logging outfit based in Anaconda, Montana, run by Mike Martelli. They work in Deer Lodge County and describe their main trade as selective logging, with site clearing and land-clearing work on the side. The jobs they take on include wildfire mitigation, insect infestation removal, site clearing, and selective thinning. Their own description of the approach is that they "specialize in selective logging, to protect your assets and natural resources." For site clearing, they say they can remove anything from one tree to a thousand to open up a building site, while leaving a buffer zone around it. For insect problems, they take out infested and standing dead trees to slow the spread and cut fire risk. There's no stated minimum acreage. They say "No job is to big or to small, will travel," so they don't turn away small lots on principle. Their service area as given is Anaconda, Montana. They list themselves as "Registered, Licensed & Insured." No species are named, and there's no mention of timber buying or consulting, just the logging and clearing work itself. This fits a landowner in or near Anaconda with a smaller lot, maybe just a few trees to clear or a fire-risk thinning job, who wants someone willing to take on a small job without a minimum acreage to clear first.
