Four questions and you get a ballpark range. No email needed to see it.

Before you take the first offer

A timber buyer's job is to buy your timber as cheaply as they can. A consulting forester works for you — they measure what's standing, tell you what it's worth, and run a competitive sale, usually for a percentage of the price. That makes their interests line up with yours. 37 of the 44 foresters covering Pitt County offer the full set — appraisal, cruise, and running the sale itself. How to decide whether you need one

A short service list, and a focused one: management plans, reforestation, stand improvement, the three timber-sale services, forest real estate, taxation, marketing and wildlife. Ten in all, near the narrow end of the register — this reads as timber-sale work rather than full-spectrum land consulting. What matters most is present, though: the firm can appraise a stand, cruise it and run the sale. Fifteen counties across the eastern coastal plain, from Halifax and Nash down through Pitt and Lenoir to the Pamlico and Carteret coast.

Timberlands Unlimited is a forestry consulting business out of Windsor, North Carolina. They've been doing this since 1980, when David L. Jennette Sr. started the company to bring independent forest management help to landowners in Eastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia. They handle the full range of what a landowner usually needs: forest management plans and mapping, timber cruising, appraisals, sale preparation and contract administration, reforestation, timber stand improvement, herbicide application, wildlife management, stewardship plans, and forest real estate. On the species side they work with loblolly pine and hardwoods like beech, hickory and oak. Their own staff does the timber cruising, appraisals and sale preparation, while reforestation work is contracted out but supervised by them. "Timberlands can handle any timber sale as the owner directs," whether that means a selective cut, a thinning, or a clearcut. The business carries the credential N.C. Registered Forester #638, and lists a reach across two dozen counties in Eastern North Carolina, including Beaufort, Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Craven, Currituck, Duplin, Edgecombe, Gates, Greene, Halifax, Hertford, Hyde, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell, Washington and Wayne. There's no stated minimum acreage, but their timber sale listings include tracts down to township-level parcels like the Jackson Heirs Tract in Gates County, so small, specific tracts are clearly within what they'll take on. This looks like a fit for a landowner in Eastern North Carolina or Southeastern Virginia who wants a long-standing, staff-run consulting outfit to handle a sale or a management plan from start to finish, rather than a one-person operation.

Concentration is the whole point here — nine adjoining counties around New Bern, taking in the lower Neuse, the Pamlico and the coastal plain behind them, about as tight a footprint as this directory holds.

Logging engineering is on there too, which speaks to tracts with access problems.

Roxobel sits in Bertie County, which puts this firm's office in the middle of the fourteen counties it covers — the Albemarle and the northeastern coastal plain. That is the argument for a firm like this: the same ground, over and over, rather than a territory spread thin. The register lists appraisal, cruising and sale administration, the three that let a firm value a stand and then run a competitive sale on it, plus logging engineering and wildlife management.

The register gives Interstate Forest Products forty-five counties — the whole coastal plain from the Virginia line to South Carolina, plus a run up into Franklin, Granville and Warren — and eight services, appraisal and cruising among them but not sale administration. The firm's own site fills that gap. It describes itself as “a forestry consulting company serving Virginia and North Carolina,” trades as Interstate Forest Products LLC, and was founded in 2011 by Chuck Little after sixteen years buying timber for firms including Georgia-Pacific and Coastal Lumber; it says IFP is listed as a consulting forester in both states, with thirty years in these local timber markets. Most of the site is given over to the timber sale, run as a sealed bid: the cruise and appraisal that set a minimum bid never disclosed before the sale, a sale notice sent to buyers with the cruise attached, a sale map showing acres, access and harvest boundaries, three to four weeks for bidders to cruise it, bids read aloud on the day, and a thirty-day close in which the buyer runs the title search, prepares the timber deed and pays in full, timber rights usually running two years. Thinnings are handled differently: sold per ton, treated as a silvicultural treatment rather than a harvest, and awarded on the operator's care — the firm writes it would rather take a few cents less and be left with a good stand. Management plans are the other main line: acreage, ownership, location and objectives; stands divided by age, timber type, soil type and condition; soil maps and photographs; per-stand recommendations and a schedule by year. The site notes an up-to-date plan is required for reforestation cost share, and recommends replanting clearcuts with improved loblolly pine seedlings in late fall or winter, with site prep spray or bedding where needed and longleaf, shortleaf or hardwood alternatives where cost share helps. Another page argues there is no timber price index to watch, and that local mill conditions and logging weather matter more. The site publishes N.C. Registered Forester #1429, N.C. ProLogger certification and N.C. Forestry Association membership. As described on interstateforestproducts.com, read 23 September 2026.

Eleven counties across the lower Neuse and the central coastal plain — Craven, Pitt, Onslow, Lenoir and their neighbors — worked by a single registered forester. The register credits the firm with timber appraisal and cruising but not sale administration, so a landowner planning a competitive sale should ask directly how that piece gets handled. Where the entry runs unusually deep is the land-management side: prescribed burning, herbicide application, wetland delineation, wildlife work and Christmas tree management sit alongside the planning and reforestation services.

Effectively the eastern two-thirds of the state: sixty-eight counties covering every county on the coastal plain and most of the piedmont, which puts this among the widest-reaching listings on the register. Two registered foresters, the older registration numbered 914. The sale trio is present — appraisal, cruise, contract administration. Surveying is on the service list as well, alongside forest real estate and urban forestry, so a boundary or title question does not need a second firm. On its own site the business trades as Carolina Forestry & Realty, a privately owned professional corporation held by co-owners Keith Brouillard and Rodney Finkbiner and recognised by the N.C. Board of Registration for Foresters as a Professional Forestry Company, working in North Carolina and Virginia and claiming more than 30 years of it. Timber is sold for the landowner on a lump-sum sealed-bid basis, the site saying a sale can draw five to ten bids, after an appraisal done by cruising on larger even stands or by tree count on small or irregular ones. Beyond the sale it lists timberland investment analysis, comprehensive management plans with growth-and-yield and economic projections, pulpwood and residential or development thinnings, disease and pest management, property tax reduction, damage and trespass appraisals and boundary line maintenance. The forestry side sits next to a working rural land brokerage: both owners are licensed brokers and Realtors and the firm publishes its own listings, so a landowner deciding between selling timber and selling the tract can put both questions to the same office.

Seven registered foresters is the top of the range on the state register, and it comes attached to eighty-four counties — mountains to the Outer Banks, with very little of North Carolina out of reach. Scale like that means a landowner isn't waiting on one person's calendar, and it means the firm doesn't vanish when someone retires. Nineteen services: wetland delineation, environmental impact statements, forest taxation and urban forestry, alongside the appraisal, cruise and sale-administration combination a competitive timber sale actually runs on. ACF and SAF. The firm trades as GFR Forestry Consultants and dates itself to 1964, and it works from four North Carolina offices — Raleigh, Lillington, Tarboro and Lake Waccamaw — with its published service area running beyond the state line into South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and the Eastern Shore. Its own account of a timber sale runs from stand assessment through a sale announcement and marketing plan to bid management, handled by foresters it says keep current on local buyers, pricing and competition; on the management side it names timber inventory and valuation, timber trespass analysis, forest management planning, GIS mapping, boundary line location and maintenance, pulpwood thinning, pest and disease control, fire protection measures and hunt and lease management. Two services sit outside the usual consulting list: timber basis determination and tax planning for estates and long-held family land, and wood flow and logistics work for landowners or businesses moving product to buyers. It also runs a rural real estate side, brokering timberland, hunting and agricultural tracts through licensed N.C. brokers. As described on gfrforestry.com, read 22 September 2026.

Albemarle Land and Timber Services, Inc. is based in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and works with landowners on both timberland and real estate. A Registered Forester and Consulting Forester handle the work, and the company is also a licensed NC Real Estate Corporation. The services cover a lot of ground: forest management plans and mapping, reforestation, timber stand improvement, timber appraisal, timber cruise and volume estimate, timber sale and contract administration, logging engineering, prescribed burning, and more, down to the basics like thinning and painting boundary lines. Species handled include Loblolly Pine, Slash Pine, Long Leaf Pine, hardwood, and Bald Cypress. When it's time to sell, they cruise and appraise the timber, locate the boundaries, and flag streamside zones or other areas that need protection before the sale. They also look at your tax basis in the timber, since that can affect what you owe on the sale. Once a time line is set, they run a sealed bid sale or a contract sale, aiming "to take full advantage of competitive timber markets, thus maximizing your dollar." They say this approach "insures top dollar is paid for the timber." The service area for timber sales and management runs from Eastern North Carolina up through Southern Virginia, with named coverage in Beaufort, Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hertford, Hyde, Martin, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell, and Washington counties. The forester holds N.C. Registered Forester credential #1045. This fits a landowner in the northeastern North Carolina counties who wants one outfit to handle the forestry side and the paperwork side of a timber sale, including the tax questions that come with it.

The office is in Charlottesville, Virginia, a good way over the state line, but the North Carolina coverage is nothing marginal: 64 counties, wider than 93 percent of firms on the register. That takes in the whole piedmont and coastal plain east of the mountains, from Currituck and Brunswick inland to Surry and Rockingham. Two registered foresters, fifteen services — wetland delineation and environmental impact work sitting alongside the appraisal, cruise and sale-administration set — and ACF membership. The company website is a corporate one and says nothing about any particular North Carolina office or county: it states only that F&W's foresters are located throughout the United States, South America and Europe, and points visitors to a find-your-local-forester map. What it does set out is the firm behind the local contact. F&W says it was founded in 1962 by Eley Frazer and Frank Wetherbee, is headquartered in Albany, Georgia, and manages millions of acres of forestland worldwide; its published timeline runs from regional inventories and forestland appraisals in the 1970s, through growth from 25 employees in two states to 100 in eight states during the 1990s, to expansion into Uruguay and Brazil and the Tree Farm Group certification in the 2000s and the acquisition of Fountains US and UK in 2016. Eight service lines are published — timber sales, property management, field support services for TIMOs and REITs, forest inventory and mapping, forestland accounting, technical and analytical work, real estate, and natural capital. On timber sales specifically the firm describes pre-harvest valuation reporting on species, age and condition, sale layout and marketing to match timber to the best market, then on-site harvest supervision: harvest inspections and reporting, streamside management zone delineation, BMP compliance audits, timber marking, boundary re-marking and road maintenance oversight, with Phase I Environmental Site Assessment available during property transactions.

The work on offer covers forest management plans and mapping, reforestation, timber stand improvement, timber appraisal, timber cruise and volume estimates, timber sale and contract administration, logging engineering, forest real estate, forest taxation, and utilization and marketing. Its own pages describe building land management plans, "usually covering 10 years or more," based on an analysis of timber stands and what the landowner wants. It works in pine and hardwood, and also pine straw. Thinning work ranges from pre-commercial thinning in young pine stands to commercial pulpwood thinning, crop tree release, and commercial improvement cuts in hardwood and mixed stands, with trees marked by hand depending on the age, size, and stocking of each stand. Reforestation work includes site preparation, seedling selection, and cost share paperwork, and it says it searches out "the best genetically improved seedlings on a tract-by-tract objective basis." It also offers Tree Farm certification, prescribed burning, wildlife habitat work, and hunting lease negotiation. It serves Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Edgecombe, Franklin, Gates, Greene, Halifax, Hertford, Martin, Nash, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Pitt, Warren, Wayne, and Wilson counties. It holds an N.C. Registered Forester credential (provisional), #472, and has been "helping landowners reach their goals since 1983." The smallest job shown on its pages is the Linden Tract on the Lower Little River, a roughly 306 acre property, which gives a sense of the scale it has handled. This suits a landowner with a larger timber tract who wants a full management plan built around it, not just a quick one-off sale. From ncforester.com, read 10 October 2026.

Seven registered foresters — as many as any firm on the state register — and sixty counties covered, which together make this one of the largest consulting operations working in North Carolina. The reach runs from the foothills in Burke and McDowell across the piedmont and the sandhills to the coast at Brunswick, Onslow and Carteret. The full sale package is here: appraisal, cruise, and running the sale through to contract. Nineteen services in all, including prescribed burning, wetland delineation, environmental impact statements and forest taxation — which matter when a timber sale is one piece of a larger land or estate question. The company's own website is a national corporate one rather than a local office page, and it describes a firm of that scale: a corporate office in Charlotte, offices across the Northeast, Southeast, Lake States, Pacific Northwest and Gulf regions, and almost sixty years spent helping landowners manage, sell, buy, improve and enjoy millions of acres — AFM dates itself to 1966, when Bartow S. Shaw, Jr. formed the predecessor firm Bartow Shaw and Associates. It states a size threshold for the land management work in its own words: property of fifteen acres or more. The published service lines run well past timber alone — timber sales and timber management, reforestation and silviculture, forest inventory to establish volumes and values, wildlife services and habitat restoration, environmental services, forest carbon, land surveying, wood flow for navigating fibre supply agreements, farmland management through AFM Ag Services, and forestry and property accounting handled by a dedicated team of about twenty including CPAs on staff, covering property tax administration, audit support and hunt lease administration. Forest certification is offered too: the firm says management operations are conducted under FSC, SFI and ATFS guidelines. As described on americanforestmanagement.com, read 22 September 2026.

Two registered foresters rather than one, so the firm does not hang on a single person's calendar, covering twenty counties across the Albemarle and the northeastern coastal plain down to the Neuse. Fourteen services, prescribed burning and herbicide application included, and membership in the Association of Consulting Foresters. The firm dates its founding to 1974 and works from Ahoskie across eastern North Carolina, and it states plainly that it is independent of logging companies and sawmills while keeping working relationships with them — the distinction that matters when a landowner is deciding who represents them in a sale. Its timber sales follow a published seven-step process, from reading the stand and the market to choosing the sale type (pay-as-cut, lump-sum, trade, select cut, thinning or clearcut), administering it, monitoring the harvest against N.C. Best Management Practices and replanting afterwards, with reforestation stock named as loblolly, shortleaf and longleaf pine plus hardwood and wildlife species. Plans come in three published kinds — harvest and thinning, burn, and wildlife — with worked examples of each posted on the site, and the firm also does drone aerial photography and GIS mapping in-house and helps landowners apply for FSP, FMI, CRP, EQIP and other NRCS programmes. On the earlier caveat about valuation: the site does advertise appraisals, though framed as real estate work, saying it has brokers and appraisers who handle farmland and timberland of any size, so it is worth asking specifically whether a standing-timber appraisal is included. The firm publishes its own running tallies of 265,000 acres under management and 633 local clients served. As described on efmnc.com, read 22 September 2026.

Premier Forestry & Environmental Consulting, PLLC is a consulting forestry and environmental practice based at Jacksonville, N.C., carried on the N.C. Forest Service consulting register for eight counties around the lower Neuse and the central coast — Onslow, Craven, Carteret, Pamlico, Jones, Lenoir, Beaufort and Pitt — and billing itself on its own site as an Eastern North Carolina forestry and land management firm. Its published service lines are forest management (long-term management planning, Present Use Value applications, timber sales, harvesting supervision, timber inventory, timber appraisal and boundary line maintenance); prescribed burning (fuel reduction, site prep, silvicultural and wildlife enhancement burning, with low-impact fireline installation and maintenance); herbicide application, ground-based via skidder and ATVs, covering site prep spray, mid-rotation release and food plots; GIS/GPS mapping; wildlife management; environmental services covering wetland delineation, impact permitting and BMP compliance; technical data collection; and expert witness work. Timber appraisal appears on the firm's own site although the register entry does not carry it, which answers a question the earlier description here left open. The firm operates its own herbicide skidder and bulldozer. President and senior forester Seth A. Ward earned a B.S. in Forest Resources and Conservation from the University of Florida in 2003, worked for the Florida Division of Forestry as a state lands forester at Tate's Hell State Forest and then as Putnam County Forester, joined the environmental consulting firm ESI in 2005 and opened and led its Eastern North Carolina branch office in 2006, then left in late 2009 to form Premier Forestry; in early 2011 the firm acquired Comprehensive Forestry Services, Inc., gaining five experienced employees and new service lines. Ward is N.C. Registered Forester #1611, a member of the Association of Consulting Foresters and a past chair of its N.C. chapter, a Certified Master Tree Farm Inspector, N.C. Certified Prescribed Burner #682, a N.C. and Virginia licensed pesticide applicator and a N.C. ProLogger; he sits on the Forestry Advisory Council for Wayne Community College and advises the Onslow County Career & Technical Education Program. Five staff are named in all: Ward; forestry technician Angelo Chimonas, who served in the United States Marine Corps from 2001 through 2023, finishing as a master sergeant, joined through the SkillBridge program and oversees logging and the skidder spray work; equipment operator Scott Adams, with over 25 years operating a bulldozer in forestry applications and skilled on the spray skidder; bookkeeper Brenda Garvey, who joined in January 2018; and office manager Taven Ward.

All 100 counties, which only a handful of firms on the state register can claim — wherever the tract sits in North Carolina, this one covers it. Two registered foresters, and the older of the two registrations is number 482, sixteenth-oldest of the 178 on the register. Appraisal, cruise and sale administration are all here, so a landowner can value the stand, measure it and run the sale through to contract in one place. Seventeen services in all, out as far as Christmas tree management, urban forestry and forest taxation. The firm holds Association of Consulting Foresters membership, which is limited to full-time consultants. The firm calls itself family owned and says it has run a consulting forestry business for over 40 years; William H. Lock has retired from full-time forestry work and his son Jonathan C. Barnes, who passed the state forestry exam in 2002, now runs the company as president. Alongside state registration in both North Carolina and Virginia it claims Certified Forester and Certified Arborist credentials, Tree Farm Inspector status and Technical Service Provider approval for NRCS cost-share programs, and it offers work turn-key — timber inventory, marketing, harvest inspection and reforestation through one office — plus timber tax basis estimates, timber trespass reports, growth models for income projections and landowner seminars and field tours. Real estate is the one thing it has pulled back from: the site says that side is now limited to advice and referrals rather than listing and selling land. Its public timber sale notices, bids taken sealed at the office, run from 2010 through 2021 and cover tracts from a few acres up to about 280, clustered in Rockingham, Guilford, Alamance and Caswell counties and over the line into Henry and Pittsylvania counties, Virginia. A first consultation is offered free. As described on whlock.com, read 22 September 2026.

Milliken Advisors serves landowners across a long list of North Carolina counties, among them Wake, Mecklenburg, Guilford, Buncombe, and Dare. The business has been working with landowners since 1949. Its own description of how a job runs is plain: "Once we know what you want, we take a good look at your land: its current state, what's happening in the market, and what the future could hold. Then we build a strategy that actually fits your needs." On follow-through, it says "You don't have to worry about juggling contractors or chasing down deadlines." This fits a landowner who wants one firm to handle a timber sale or a management plan from start to finish, rather than piecing the work together themselves.

This suits a landowner who wants one outfit that can buy the timber, write the management plan, and keep an eye on the ground afterward, rather than stitching together a buyer, a consultant, and a logger separately.

Corbett Timber Company is a timber buyer, logger, and forestry consultant based in Wilmington, North Carolina. They buy "every standing timber type", as well as soft hardwood logs for mills and other manufacturing use, and they work with Long leaf pine and Loblolly pine among other species. Their harvest work covers clear cut, row thinning, select thinning, residential thinning, seed tree, shelter wood, swamp logging, whole tree chipping, brush reduction, and fuel chipping. Past jobs include thinning on Long leaf pine and Loblolly pine plantations, and a residential thinning where a chipper was used to clear underbrush. Beyond the harvest itself, they offer timber appraisals, GIS mapping, marketing and merchandising advice, reforestation, and management plans, along with procurement services. Their staff includes Registered Foresters and Certified Tree Farm Inspectors. The business traces its timber brokerage work back to the mid-1980s, building on generations of logging before that. They serve New Hanover County. A minimum of 10 acres applies, stated on their contact page as "Property Location & Size (Minimum 10 acres required)". This fits a landowner with a mixed pine or hardwood tract who wants one company to handle the cut, the paperwork around it, and the replanting after, rather than hiring separate people for each step.

Its Manta listing describes the firm as buyers of standing timber, timber brokers and North Carolina Registered Foresters, offering forest management plans, forest management and wildlife management. For a landowner, that means the harvest can be planned and represented rather than simply bid on, which is unusual for an operation this size. Nearly seventy years in business gives it a longer track record than most buyers working the New Bern area.

Unlike most stumpage buyers in Halifax County, Kerr runs its own log trucks. Federal motor carrier records under USDOT 337205 list eight power units and three drivers as of the August 2025 MCS-150 filing, and the cargo classification covers "Logs, Poles, Beams, Lumber" alongside "Machinery, Large Objects" — meaning the company hauls its own harvesting equipment onto a tract as well as the wood off it. An industrial directory describes the business as wholesaling rough, dressed and finished lumber and offering logging and forest management services, so it does more than buy stumpage.

Jerry G Williams & Sons Lumber Inc. is a sawmill in Smithfield, North Carolina. They buy standing hardwood and pine timber, and they also run a separate logging crew through a partnering company, JMW Logging and Timber Company, along with contract loggers who cut and supply logs to the mill. They work in Poplar, Ash, Cypress, Red and White Oak, and Southern yellow pine. The mill sits in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and draws its timber base from both the Appalachian and Southern forests. Jerry G Williams & Sons Lumber Inc. lists Johnston County as an area it serves. They say "We buy standing hardwood and pine timber," and their lumber services go on to cover kiln drying, width sorting, NHLA grading, export prep, container loading, and mixed truck loads. They follow State Forestry Best Management Practices, and they support the Pro-Logger education program and the landowner education incentives under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The company started back in 1986, when Jerry Williams bought a former Union Camp sawmill in Smithfield. It has stayed a family operation since, now run by his grandson Kevin Williams as Vice President overseeing mill operations. This one suits a landowner in or near Johnston County with standing hardwood or pine timber to sell, who also wants a mill that can take the logs all the way through to kiln-dried lumber.

Nothing about this company could be verified outside the NC Forest Service register, which lists it as a New Bern buyer of standing timber offering timber cruises across a twelve-county block of eastern North Carolina. A research pass found no website, no Facebook page and no readable directory entry — the only near-matches were a LinkedIn profile and two business-data pages that could not be opened. Treat the register listing as the whole of the record.

The Better Business Bureau files this New Bern company not as a timber buyer but as a timber broker — an agent between individual landowners and the mills — which is a different arrangement from selling a tract outright to whoever cuts it. The BBB record puts the business start date at September 1985 and gives the company an A+ rating, though it is not BBB accredited and the file carries no customer reviews. No website, published reviews or trade coverage were found anywhere else.

Plymouth, NC
Standing Timber PurchaseSawlog PurchaseSawmill

About 165 people work at the Plymouth lumber mill, which went 362 consecutive days without a recordable injury in 2024 by Weyerhaeuser's own account of the site. It is a softwood sawmill - an industry mill locator places it on NC Highway 149 north of town - and the NC Forest Service register shows it buying southern yellow pine as sawlogs and as standing timber across eleven eastern counties. The mill is a facility of publicly traded Weyerhaeuser Company, and the state register lists a raw materials manager rather than an owner as the buying contact, so a landowner is selling to a corporate procurement desk.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Pitt County?

91 businesses are listed for Pitt County: 44 consulting foresters and 47 buyers, loggers and mills. 9 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Pitt 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. North Carolina State Extension publishes quarterly average stumpage prices by region, which tells you what the market is doing, not what your tract holds. 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 Pitt 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 permit to cut timber in North Carolina?

There is no statewide permit to harvest timber on your own land in North Carolina, but several rules still apply: the Forest Practices Guidelines for water quality, local county and municipal ordinances that can regulate harvesting, and sedimentation rules where a stream is involved. Requirements vary by county, so check with the county before work starts.

What is timber worth in Pitt County?

No price series is published for Pitt County on its own. North Carolina's latest published stumpage figures (NC State Extension, Q2 2026) put oak sawtimber at $48.96 per ton. 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.

Forester listings for Pitt County come from the North Carolina Forest Service register, revised 06-Apr-26. The register is updated quarterly.
