Future Forest Consulting is a forestry consulting business based in New York, with a main office in Naples and a satellite office in Syracuse. It works with landowners who have timber to sell and handles the whole process for them rather than just buying wood outright. Their way of working: they mark trees on your land according to silvicultural guidelines and your own goals, then put the job out to bid among 75 to 100 logging companies in the region, with the aim of getting the best price. Once the bids come in, a timber sale contract is drawn up between buyer and landowner. As they put it, "All money is received before the logging firm begins work on the property," and the logger has to carry insurance and post a performance bond "to ensure contract requirements are adhered to." They work with Eastern Hemlock, Beech, Red Oak, Black Cherry, Ash, and White Pine. Beyond timber sales, they also offer excavation, forestry mulching, pond construction, tree and orchard planting, timber appraisals and financial analysis, management plans and 480a tax law work, low impact logging, timber stand improvement, herbicide applications, land clearing, and food plots. They cover Ontario, Livingston, Steuben, Allegany, Yates, Wayne, Monroe, Wyoming, Seneca, Cayuga, Genesee, Cattaraugus, Onondaga, Orleans, Erie, Chemung, and Chautauqua counties in New York, and have been doing this work for over 18 years. This fits a landowner who wants a forester to run the whole sale from marking trees through to a written contract and payment up front, rather than dealing directly with a single logger.

How much is my timber worth in Livingston 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 Livingston 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.
