About Granite State Forestry Service, Inc.
Granite State Forestry Service, Inc. is a forestry consulting and logging firm based in New London, New Hampshire. They work in forest management, selective timber harvesting, logging, and timber sales, and they also serve Merrimack County. A sale or job with them starts with a free woodland evaluation, a walk through your property to look at your trees and talk over your goals. From there they put together a timber harvesting plan that covers the best time of year to cut, which harvesting techniques fit the land, which logging contractor suits the site, and where to put the log landing and trails. They handle the timber sale administration too, including marketing the forest products, locating and marking boundary lines, state and local permits and wetland notifications, and timber marking. During the harvest they supervise the work for compliance with state and local rules, including wetland regulations, and they are insured and say they only use insured logging contractors. Other services include current use taxation planning, timber inventories and appraisals, and forest management planning. They note that "most landowners will only harvest timber one or two times during the course of their life," which is the reasoning they give for leaning on a licensed forester to run the sale. They are a fully licensed forester in the state of New Hampshire and say they have been "practicing sustainable forestry in New England for over 30 years," with roots going back to 1983. This fits a landowner in New Hampshire, especially Merrimack County, who wants one firm to plan the harvest, line up the logging crew, and stand watch over the whole sale from boundary lines to the last load leaving the property.

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.
