About Generations Forestry Inc.
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.

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.
