Forest ManagementTimber PurchasingTimber AppraisalLog PurchasingHardwood Lumber

Wagner Hardwoods is a sawmill business based in Cayuta, New York. It also buys timber and offers forestry consulting, and it is a member of the Baillie Group. It runs sawmills at three New York locations: Owego, Cayuta, and Davenport. The company buys logs and standing timber, provides forest management, timber appraisal, and log purchasing, and turns the logs it buys into hardwood lumber. In its own words, "Wagner Hardwoods purchases logs and provides lumber for the top species of hardwoods." It also states, "Wagner is one of the largest consumers of hardwood logs in the Northeastern U.S., utilizing 60 MMBF of logs annually." It sources hardwood logs and standing timber across most of New York and Pennsylvania, and is named here as serving Schuyler County. This suits a landowner in New York or Pennsylvania who wants to deal directly with a mill that buys logs and standing timber itself, and who also wants an appraisal or forest management advice alongside the sale, rather than hiring a separate logger and buyer.

Rose Forestry LLC, also known as Rose Forestry & Sawmill, is based in Holland, New York, and works around the Western New York area, including Erie County. They handle timber consultation, wildlife management, portable sawmilling, lumber sales, and low impact logging, so a landowner can get advice, a logging job, and milled lumber from one outfit. They also keep an inventory of figured lumber for sale, including curly maple, ambrosia maple, and spalted maple. Rose Forestry & Sawmill calls itself "your source for quality, highly figured lumber for sale," which gives a sense of what they're known for beyond standing timber work. This fits a landowner in Western New York who wants someone who can walk the woods, log it with a lighter touch, and also turn logs into lumber rather than just buying timber and leaving.

Regions served: 4 5 6

F&W Forestry Services, Inc. is a forestry consulting business based in New York, serving Franklin County. It is listed as a forestry consultant and holds a Society of American Foresters Certified Forester (SAF-CF) credential, along with membership in the New York Institute of Consulting Foresters (NYICF). The work covers the kinds of jobs a landowner brings to a consultant: timber sales, property management, forest inventory and mapping, forestland accounting, and other technical and analytical support. For a timber sale, the approach is to run a pre-harvest valuation of the stands on a property, looking at species, age, and condition, then set up a sale plan and market the timber to buyers. Staff stay involved during the harvest itself, handling boundary checks, timber marking, and compliance audits on site. The company also offers road maintenance, boundary re-marking, and drone monitoring of forest health between sales. It has operated this way since 1962, and manages millions of acres of timberland across its wider operations. Its stated aim is "to maximize the value and enjoyment of their land" for the people it works with. This fits a landowner in Franklin County who wants a consultant carrying formal forestry credentials and decades of history behind the name, rather than a one-person local operation.

Forest Management PlansWater Quality ComplianceTimber HarvestingForest Boundary MarkingGIS & GPS Mapping+1 more

Headwater Forestry Inc. is a consulting forestry business run out of Kingston, New York, by Cory Creagan, who has practiced consulting forestry in Vermont and New York since 2014. They write forest management plans built to meet NYS RPTL-480a standards and VT Use Value Appraisal requirements, and they handle water quality compliance, timber harvesting, forest boundary marking, GIS and GPS mapping, and ecological management. They serve Ulster County, along with the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Capital Region, and Vermont more broadly. Cory also spent time as the State of Vermont's Bennington County Forester. The work covers everyone from family forest owners to municipalities and non-profits, and they say "we mostly serve small private landowners and family forests." On timber sales, they say they aim to "plan your timber harvest and ensure you receive the best price for your timber," and they point to boundary marking as "your best protection against trespass and timber theft." The stated minimum is 5 acres, and they put it plainly: "whether you own 1,000 acres or 5 acres," they'll work with it. One project example shows the range of what they actually take on, drafting a management plan and running a competitive bid process for a 100 acre municipal forest that brought in over $65,000 for a harvest of declining sugar maple, red maple, and yellow birch. This fits a landowner in Ulster County or nearby who wants a written forest management plan and someone to oversee a bid process before any cutting starts, not just a quick timber sale.

Generations Forestry Inc. is a consulting forestry business in Kane, New York, that works for the landowner rather than the buyer. As they put it, "we put your needs first," helping manage the forest for sustainability while also getting your timber to market. Their work covers the full range of a timber sale: timber appraisal, timber marking, bid packages, and monitoring the harvest through to cleanup before the bond is released. They also offer contract logging, where they mark the timber, hire the loggers, sell the logs as pulpwood, saw logs, or veneer logs, and settle with you monthly after costs. Beyond the sale itself, they handle timber stand improvement, regeneration, tree planting, herbicide programs, wildlife and hunting lease management, oil, gas and mineral management, erosion control, timber trespass and damage valuation, forest management plans, and forest certification work. There's no stated minimum acreage. Their own words cover it: "Whether you have 1 acre or 100,000 acres of timberland we deliver both proven and innovative solutions tailored to your short- and long-term needs." They serve Pennsylvania and New York and say they've helped customers across those states sell over one billion board feet of timber and pulpwood over 40 years. The company was formed in 2013 by Ken Kane, built from consulting forestry companies he'd been part of for 30 years prior. Staff are listed as members of the Association of Consulting Foresters and the Society of American Foresters. This fits a landowner, whether a few acres or a very large tract, who wants one firm to run the whole sale process, from marking trees to collecting the final bid payment, rather than handling pieces of it themselves.

They also help with NRCS CAP plans and carbon offset opportunities, and they hold SAF-CF certification and belong to NYICF. They serve Livingston County, within DEC Regions 7, 8, and 9.

AM RO Fo re stry, based in Whitney Point, New York, is a forest management and consulting business that works across the whole state. It's family-owned and runs two crews, one in Whitney Point and one in Albany. For a landowner with trees to sell, they handle the forestry side of a timber sale: putting together a forest management plan, doing a forest inventory and value assessment, writing up a timber sale contract, soliciting bids, running a market analysis, and overseeing contract enforcement once the work starts. They also do timber stand improvement, pre-commercial thinning, tree planting, and sugar bush management, and on the tree-care side they'll look at individual trees, not just stands, with the idea of putting the "right tree, right place." If there's ever a dispute over timber theft or loss, they also do that kind of investigation and valuation work. They say "no job is too big or too small," and they carry several credentials: SAF Certified Forester, ISA Certified Arborist, NRCS Technical Service Provider, and NYS DEC Cooperating Forester. They're listed with the state as serving Broome County, and their own pages say the work covers New York State generally. This fits a landowner who wants a forester to run the whole timber sale process, from figuring out what the wood is worth to writing the contract and watching the logging, rather than dealing with a logger or buyer directly.

Questions landowners ask

How many forestry consultants are there in New York?

37 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the New York forestry register, covering 5 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
