Professional FallersManagement PlansTimber HarvestingTree PlantingLand Clearing

White Horse Forestry, INC. is a logging and forestry consulting business in Corvallis, Montana, serving Ravalli County. It is also listed under forestry consultants, and the register places it under fire protection service. Ron and AnnaMarie White run the company, and its own services page describes a skyline timber harvesting operation based in Mineral County that covers Western Montana as well. The work on offer includes timber harvesting, professional fallers, management plans, tree planting, and land clearing. They offer a free site visit to talk through fuel mitigation options, and say grant programs can help fund a project, in some cases up to 100 percent. Land clearing is done through hand thinning, piling, and burning, working to "render your property fire resistant and wildlife friendly." They also hold wildland fire suppression agreements with the US Forest Service, including Type-6 engines, Type 1 faller modules, and 20 person firefighting handcrews, and have held a Memorandum of Understanding with the Northern Rockies Coordinating Group to run NWCG certified courses since 2010. White Horse Forestry, INC. has been operating since 2005. This one suits a landowner whose main worry is fire risk as much as the timber sale itself, someone who wants fuel reduction, a management plan, and a crew that also works wildland fire contracts, rather than a straight harvest-and-go job.

timber-frame packagescustomer-log millingrough-cut or planed finish

Camas Creek Custom Lumber is a working sawmill in Stevensville, Montana. If you've got logs on your own land and want them turned into usable wood, this is the kind of place that does that work directly, cutting "full-dimension lumber, timbers and beams for builders, lumber buyers and individual projects." They cut Douglas fir as their main species, with pine, larch, spruce and cottonwood available depending on the order and what's in stock. Besides milling your own logs, they offer timber-frame packages and will cut rough or planed finish, whatever the project calls for. The process starts with a quote request where you list species, dimensions, quantity and finish, and from there "Camas Creek reviews order details as part of the quote process" before talking price and availability. They've been at this since 1998, starting with a circle sawmill in Darby before moving to bandsaw milling and then to their own Stevensville property. Most customers pick up material at the mill; there's no routine local delivery, though freight can sometimes be arranged for large multi-state orders. They work out of Stevensville and are listed as serving Ravalli County. This one suits a landowner who already knows they want logs sawn into lumber or timbers rather than a standing-timber sale, and who doesn't mind hauling logs in or picking up finished material at the mill.

Hamilton, MT

Industrial Lumber Sales Inc. is a mill listed in the wholesale lumber trade, based in Hamilton, Montana. They describe themselves as "a strong force in the wholesale lumber industry," working out of Western Montana. This is a wholesale lumber business, not a service set up to walk a landowner through a timber sale on their own land. The founder has been in the lumber industry for over 30 years. They work with sawmills located throughout the country, and say they put a "high priority on defining and understanding exactly what our clients' needs are." No species, services, or acreage minimums are named, and the county shown for this listing is Ravalli. This fits someone already thinking in terms of wholesale lumber volume and mill relationships, rather than a landowner with a few acres of standing timber looking for a first explanation of how a sale works.

Stevensville, MT

TimberKing Montana is listed under mills, based in Stevensville, Montana. It is named as the Northern Rockies dealer for TimberKing portable sawmills, the equipment line built by TimberKing, Inc., and the local contact is Joel Gordon. It is listed as serving Ravalli County, and shows up in the register under Granite County. This is not an outfit that comes out to buy your standing timber or run a logging crew on your land. It is a dealer in portable sawmill equipment, the kind of machine a landowner buys to cut their own logs into lumber on site, rather than selling the trees to someone else to haul off. The equipment itself is built in the USA and comes in a range of sizes, from a personal-sized mill up through heavier models with hydraulics for bigger logs. If you are the kind of landowner who wants to mill your own wood, cut your own lumber from trees on your 5 to 50 acres, and keep the work and the boards on your own property, this is worth a look. If what you want instead is someone to come assess your timber, make an offer, and do the cutting and hauling for you, this listing is not that kind of business.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Ravalli County?

7 businesses are listed for Ravalli County: 1 consulting forester and 6 buyers, loggers and mills. 7 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Ravalli 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 Ravalli 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.
