They describe themselves as "specializing in selective cutting," which matters if you want a lighter touch on your woods rather than a clear-cut. They say they are a "fully insured and licensed logging company," and they offer free estimates, so you can get a sense of the job before committing to anything. They're listed as serving Strafford County. No species or minimum tract size is spelled out, so if you have a small or unusual lot, it's worth calling and asking directly, at 603-522-6022, rather than guessing from what's posted. This fits a landowner in or near Strafford County who wants selective cutting handled by the same people doing the buying, and who'd rather make one phone call than hire a logger and a buyer separately.

How much is my timber worth in Strafford 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Strafford 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.
