Stillwater Forestry LLC is a forest management company based in Claremont, New Hampshire. They work across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, handling timber harvesting, forest management plans, boundary line maintenance, annual forest security inspections, wildlife habitat improvement, land acquisition, pasture clearing, and timber appraisals. They also buy standing timber outright. They work with White Pine, red oak, hardwood, spruce, and pulpwood. Here's how a sale typically runs: they meet with you, look at your access and goals, and decide if a harvest makes sense. You sign a "Contract For Services" agreement, and no money changes hands up front. They lay out the harvest, mark the timber, handle permits, and give you an estimate before cutting starts. Then they bring in a logging company to do the actual work and administer the harvest start to finish. They describe themselves as "fully licensed Vermont, Maine & New Hampshire Forest Management Services company," distinct from being a logging outfit themselves. They say they've been at this more than 25 years. For this listing, Stillwater Forestry LLC is shown serving Sullivan County. They state a minimum of 10 acres for parcels they'll consider buying, though they say they'll also look at much larger tracts. This fits a landowner who wants one company to coordinate the whole process, from marking trees to finding a logger to closing out the sale, rather than juggling a forester, a buyer, and a logging crew separately.

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Sullivan County?
7 businesses are listed for Sullivan County: 2 consulting foresters and 5 buyers, loggers and mills. 6 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Sullivan 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 Sullivan 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.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Sullivan County?

What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
